A population consists of the following five values: 19, 18, 10, 19, 12. Assume that samples of size 2 are randomly selected with replacement from this population. The first sample selected is 18, 18.
 
  What is the mean of the sampling distribution of means?
  A) 15.6 B) 19 C) 18 D) 15

Question 2

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.
