a) q0/sqrt(2) b) q0/sqrt(3) c) q0/sqrt(4) d) q0/sqrt(9) The standard deviation of the distribution of means for a sample size is equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. Therefore, for samples of size 2, 3, 4, and 9, the standard deviation of the distribution of means would be q0/sqrt(2), q0/sqrt(3), q0/sqrt(4), and q0/sqrt(9), respectively.
