7. Use the population of {1, 3, 7}. Assume that the random samples of size n = 2 Construct a sampling distribution of the sample mean. After identifying the 9 different possible samples (with replacement), find the mean of each sample, then construct a table representing the sample the sampling distribution of the sample mean. In the table, combine values of the sample mean that are the same. (Hint: condense the table similar to examples presented in class.)

Expert Solution

We have the population {1,3,7}.

Let x1, x2, ..., xn be a random sample of size n.

Then the sample mean is given by the formula

.

Here, since we are taking sample of size 2, say x1 and x2, the sample mean can be obtained as

case (i): Random sample of size 2 with replacement.

The following are the possible samples with their corresponding sample means.

Samples
(with replacement)
Sample means
{1,1} 1
{1,3} 2
{1,7} 4
{3,1} 2
{3,3} 3
{3,7} 5
{7,1} 4
{7,3} 5
{7,7} 7

Therefore the sampling distribution of sample mean is obtained as in the following table.

1 1/9
2 2/9
3 1/9
4 2/9
5 2/9
7 1/9

case (ii): Random sample of size 2 without replacement. (mentioned additionally, not asked in the question)

The following are the possible samples with their corresponding sample means.

Samples
(without replacement)
Sample means
{1,3} 2
{1,7} 4
{3,7} 5

Therefore the sampling distribution of sample mean is obtained as in the following table.

2 1/3
4 1/3
5 1/3
