Step 1 :The prices of photo printers on a website are normally distributed with a mean of $225 and a standard deviation of $68. Random samples of size 23 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined.
Step 2 :The mean of the distribution of sample means is 225.
Step 3 :The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means, also known as the standard error, can be calculated using the formula: \[\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\] where \(\sigma_{\bar{x}}\) is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means (standard error), \(\sigma\) is the standard deviation of the population, and \(n\) is the size of the samples.
Step 4 :In this case, \(\sigma = $68\) and \(n = 23\). We can substitute these values into the formula to find the standard error.
Step 5 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get \[\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \frac{68}{\sqrt{23}}\]
Step 6 :Calculating the above expression, we get \(\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 14.179\)
Step 7 :Final Answer: The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is \(\boxed{14.179}\).
