Solution

(a) The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean (μx) is equal to the population mean (μ). So, μx = μ = 1.25.

(b) The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean (σx) is equal to the population standard deviation (σ) divided by the square root of the sample size (n). So, σx = σ/√n = 0.48/√8 = 0.17 (rounded to two decimal places).
