Houseflies have pretty short lifespans. Males of a certain species have lifespans that are strongly skewed to the right with a mean of 26 days and a standard deviation of 12 days. A biologist collects a random sample of 10 of these male houseflies and observes them to calculate the sample mean lifespan. We can assume that the houseflies in each sample are independent. What will be the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean lifespan?


A. Skewed to the left

B. Skewed to the right

C. Approximately normal

D. Unknown; we don’t have enough information to determine the shape
