Shirt | Cost |
Basic T-Shirt (B) | $18 |
New Arrival T-Shirt (N) | $20 |
Premium T-Shirt (P) | $22 |
Exclusive Playoffs T-Shirt (E) | $24 |
Define the population as the four shirts and a sample of size two as the t-shirt that Josie chooses and the t-shirt that Will chooses.
Identify the frequency distribution for the population
Identify the frequency distribution for all combinations of sample means for Josie and Will choosing a shirt
Verify that the population mean and mean of all possible sample means are equal
Calculate the standard error of the mean

Answer:
a) The frequency distribution for the population will be a uniform distribution. Here is what the table will look like:
Cost (in $) | Shirt | Probability |
18 | B | 1/4 |
20 | N | 1/4 |
22 | P | 1/4 |
24 | E | 1/4 |
b) For the sample distribution, we have to consider each combination of shirts and take their average.
As Josie and Will both have 4 choices, there are 16 choices in all.
BB means that Josie and Will both choose Basic T-shirt. The average is $18.
BN means that Josie chose Basic T-shirt and Will both choose New Arrival T-shirt. The average is $19. Also, NB is a different combination with the same average of $19.
BP, NN, and PB all have the average of $20.
Using similar cases, we have:
Average Cost (in $) | Shirts | Probability |
18 | BB | 1/16 |
19 | BN, NB | 2/16 |
20 | BP, NN, PB | 3/16 |
21 | BE, NP. PN, EB | 4/16 |
22 | NE, PP, EN | 3/16 |
23 | PE, EP | 2/16 |
24 | EE | 1/16 |
c) We write the population mean as sum of the product of the numbers and corresonding probability from the first table:
We write the sample mean as sum of the product of the numbers and corresonding probability from the second table:
So, the population mean of $21 is equal to the sample mean of $21. Hence, we have verified that the means are equal.
d) The population standard deviation is:
The sample standard deviation is:
The standard error of the mean is equal to the sample standard deviation = 1.6330.
