A school district reports that out of the 4586 teachers who have retired, the mean number of years those teachers have served is 28.7 with a standard deviation of 4.9 years. Note that the distribution of years of service (the shape of the distribution of the parent population) is not known. If simple random samples of 70 retired teachers are selected, what should be the shape of distribution of sample means? Select one of the choices below. O Approximately normal because the population standard deviation is known and the distribution of sample means with this large a sample size should be approximately normal regardless of the distribution of salaries. O Unknown because the distribution of years of service is unknown. O Uniform because the sample means should be distributed evenly. O Skewed right because teachers tend to work for a long time. Skewed left because teachers tend to retire early.
