Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Mean of the Sampling Distribution

The mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the population mean, which is given by:

\[ \mu = 50 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is calculated using the formula:

\[ \sigma_{\bar{x}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{30}} \approx 1.8257 \]

Step 3: Calculate the Probability of the Sample Mean Falling Within a Range

To find the probability that the sample mean falls within the range \( [45, 55] \), we first convert the bounds to Z-scores:

\[ Z_{start} = \frac{45 - 50}{1.8257} \approx -2.7386 \] \[ Z_{end} = \frac{55 - 50}{1.8257} \approx 2.7386 \]

Using the standard normal distribution, we find:

\[ P = \Phi(Z_{end}) - \Phi(Z_{start}) \approx \Phi(2.7386) - \Phi(-2.7386) \approx 0.9938 \]

Final Answer

The mean of the sampling distribution is \( \mu = 50 \), the standard deviation is \( \sigma_{\bar{x}} \approx 1.8257 \), and the probability that the sample mean falls within the range \( [45, 55] \) is approximately \( P \approx 0.9938 \).

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{P \approx 0.9938} \]
