MCQ Normal, Probability, Confidence

1) As the sample size increases, the variability among sample means increases. Doubling the sample size will reduce the standard error of the mean to half its current value. 2) The normal distribution is useful for computing probabilities of sample means. For a large sample size, the confidence interval of a population mean is estimated as the sample mean plus or minus the standard error of the mean. 3) For a normal distribution, the probability that a value falls between the mean and one standard deviation is approximately 68%.
