7.50 Undergraduate Binge Drinking. Alcohol consumption on college and university campuses has gained attention because undergraduate students drink significantly more than young adults who are not students. Researchers I. Balodis et al. studied binge drinking in undergraduates in the article "Binge Drinking in Undergraduates: Relationships with Gender, Drinking Behaviors, Impulsivity, and the Perceived Effects of Alcohol" (Behavioural Pharmacology, Vol. 20, No. 5. pp. 518-526). The researchers found that students who are binge drinkers drink many times a month with the span of each outing having a mean of hours and a standard deviation of hours.
a. For samples of size , find the mean and standard deviation of all possible sample mean spans of binge drinking episodes. Interpret your results in words.
b. Repeat part (a) with .
