Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Possible samples: 182-182; 182-159; 182-223; 182-86; 159-182; 159-159; 159-223; 223-86; 86-182; 86-159; 86-223; 86-86
Means: 182, 170.5, 202.5, 134, 170.5, 159, 191, 122.5, 202.5, 191, 223, 154.5, 134, 122.5, 154.5, 86
The probability of each sample is 1/16 so the sampling distribution consists of the 16 sample means paired with the probability of 1/16.
