Critical part failures in nascar vehicles

Critical part failures in NASCAR vehicles. The Sport Journal (Winter 2007) published an analysis of critical part failures at NASCAR races. The researchers found that the time y (in hours) until the first critical part failure has a highly skewed distribution with μ = .10 and σ = .10. Now, consider a random sample of n = 50 NASCAR races and let y¯ represent the sample mean time until the first critical part failure.

(a) Find E(y¯) and Var(y¯).

(b) Although y has a highly skewed distribution, the sampling distribution of y¯ is approximately normal. Why?
