TopicCentral limit theorem

1 A random sample of observations of a random variable \(X\) is summarised by $$n = 100 , \quad \Sigma x = 4830.0 , \quad \Sigma x ^ { 2 } = 249 \text { 509.16. }$$
  1. Obtain unbiased estimates of the mean and variance of \(X\).
  2. The sample mean of 100 observations of \(X\) is denoted by \(\bar { X }\). Explain whether you would need any further information about the distribution of \(X\) in order to estimate \(\mathrm { P } ( \bar { X } > 60 )\). [You should not attempt to carry out the calculation.]
