EXAMPLE #1
Consider a population consisting
of 1,2,3,4, and 5. Suppose
samples of size 2 are drawn from
this population. Describe the
sampling distribution of the
sample means.
• What is the mean and variance of the
sampling distribution of the sample
means?
• Compare these values to the mean
and variance of the population
• Draw the histogram of the sampling
distribution of the sample mean.
STEPS
1. Compute the mean of the
population.
2. Compute the variance of the
population
3. Determine the number of possible
samples of size n = 2
STEPS
4. List all possible samples and their
corresponding means.
