Question:
A study plans to sample randomly 100 government records of farms to estimate the mean acreage of farms in Place A. Results from an earlier study suggest that 400 acres is a reasonable guess for the population standard deviation of farm size.

(b) If in reality the population standard deviation is larger than 400, would the probability be larger, or smaller, than you found in (a)?
