Distribution of sampling means

Assume IQ is distributed normally, with a mean of 100 and a standard variation of 15, what is the distribution of sampling means if n=25
Can anyone help, I have no clue what to do

Tbh, it should be in your textbook but simply googling the question gives several good descriptions. Probably worth reading up on it first, and then asking about parts you're unsure about.

I presume you mean standard deviation, rather than variation.

Hi,
Yeah I meant standard deviation. However I have done all the options you have told me, and still don’t understand. Can you help me

I typed the question into google and read the sources that were below, but none of them actually had relevancy to my question. I’m not understanding anything. If you know the answer. Can you explain it to me so I can understand it

This was pretty much link 1 when I googled.
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/ap-statistics/sampling-distribution-ap/sampling-distribution-mean/v/sampling-distribution-of-the-sample-mean
and there were lots of other relevant ones. There are lots of worked examples involving the key, simple formula you need.
