1: What conditions, or assumptions, should be verified before using the sample values to estimate the population mean?
2: If these conditions are satisfied, what is the probability that you would get a sample with a sample mean of $230.00 or less?
3: If they expect to have 50,000 sales this year, what is their expected value of the total sales for the year?
4: What do the following two values represent, in terms of the sampling distribution?
5: What do these values mean in terms of the expected total sales for the year?
