1 The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 19881994 (NHANES III, A-1) estimated
the mean serum cholesterol level for U.S. females aged 2074 years to be 204 mg/dl. The estimate of
the standard deviation was approximately 44. Using these estimates as the mean m and standard
deviation s for the U.S. population, consider the sampling distribution of the sample mean based on
samples of size 50 drawn from women in this age group. What is the mean of the sampling
distribution? The standard error?

5.3.2 The study cited in Exercise 5.3.1 reported an estimated mean serum cholesterol level of 183 for
women aged 2029 years. The estimated standard deviation was approximately 37. Use these
estimates as the mean m and standard deviation s for the U.S. population. If a simple random sample
of size 60 is drawn from this population, find the probability that the sample mean serum cholesterol
level will be:
(a) Between 170 and 195 (b) Below 175
(c) Greater than 190

5.3.10 Use the data cited in Exercise 5.3.1. Imagine we take samples of size 5, 25, 50, 100, and 500 from the
women in this age group.
(a) Calculate the standard error for each of these sampling scenarios.
(b) Discuss how sample size affects the standard error estimates calculated in part (a) and the
potential implications this may have in statistical practice.
