Lesson Plan: Statistics and Probability
For instance, a sample might be drawn from the population, its mean is
calculated, and this value is used as a statistic or an estimate for the
population mean.
The number of samples of size n that can be drawn from a population of size
N is given by NCn.
The probability distribution of the sample means is also called the sampling
distribution of the sample means.
1. Determine the number of possible samples that can be drawn from the
population using the formula: NCn
2. List all the possible samples and compute the mean of each sample.
