1. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) gave a test of basic arithmetic and the ability to apply it in everyday life to a sample of 840 men 21 to 25 years of age. Scores range from 0 to 500; for example, someone with a score of 325 can determine the price of a meal from a menu. The mean score for these 840 young men was x = 272. We want to estimate the mean score ? in the population of all young men. Consider the NAEP sample as an SRS from a Normal population with standard deviation ? = 60. If we take many samples, the sample mean x varies from sample to sample according to a Normal distribution with mean equal to the unknown mean score ? in the population. What is the standard deviation of this sampling distribution?

According to the 95 part of the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% of all values of barx with a sample size of 840 fall within on either side of the unknown mean ?. What is the missing number?
