A geologist measures the diameters of a large random sample of n pebbles in an old stream bed. We know that the diameters of these pebbles are normally distributed but the population mean and variance are unknown. What sampling distribution would you use to answer any probability questions about the sample mean? What sampling distribution would you use to answer any probability questions about the sample variance?

A sampling distribution (dotplot) for the mean quiz score for a sample n = 30 of STAT101 students is shown below. It was constructed using random samples from population data. If we increased our sample size from 30 to 100, would the standard error of the sample mean be larger, smaller, or the same? Explain your answer in one or two sentences.
The Census Bureau gives this distribution for the number of people in American households in 2016. Family size 1 2 4 6. 7 Proportion 0.28 0.35 0.15 0.13 0.06 0.02 0.01 Note: In this table, 7 actually represents households of size 7 or greater. But for purposes of this exercise, assume that it means only households of size exactly 7. Suppose you take a random sample of 4000 American households. About how many of these households will be of size 2? Sizes 3 to 7? The number of households of size 2 is about The number of households of size 3 to 7 is about
Eighty-three percent of adults in a certain country believe that life on other planets is plausible. You randomly select five adults and ask them whether they believe that life on other planets is plausible. The random variable represents the number of adults who believe that life on other planets is plausible. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the binomial distribution for the random variable. Interpret the results find the mean, variance, and standard deviation
Let's examine the mean of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 by drawing samples from these values, calculating the mean of each sample, and then considering the sampling distribution of the mean. To do this, suppose you perform an experiment in which you roll an eight-sided die two times (or equivalently, roll two eight-sided dice one time) and calculate the mean of your sample. Remember that your population is the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The true mean (µ) of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 is , and the true standard deviation (o) is The number of possible different samples (each of size n = 2) is the number of possibilities on the first roll (8) times the number of possibilities on the second roll (also 8), or 8(8) = 64. If you collected all of these possible samples, the mean of your sampling distribution of means (µM) would equal and the standard deviation of your sampling distribution of means (that is, the standard error or ɑm) would be The following chart…

A variable of a population has a left-skewed distribution. a. If a large simple random sample is taken from the population, roughly what shape will the distribution of the sample have? Explain your answer.b. If two simple random samples are taken from the population, would you expect the two sample distributions to have identical shapes? Explain your answer.c. If two simple random samples are taken from the population, would you expect the two sample distributions to have similar shapes? If so, what shape would that be? Explain your answers.

In an election, suppose that 45% of voters support creating a new fire district. If we poll 202 of these voters at random, the probability distribution for the proportion of the polled voters that support creating a new fire district can be modeled by the normal distribution pictured below. The bell curve below represents the distribution of these sample proportions. The scale on the horizontal axis is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution. So each tick mark represents a distance of one standard deviation on the distribution, with the middle tick mark being the mean of the distribution. Complete the boxes accurate to two decimal places. Note that the second box is at the mean. The first box is two standard deviations below the mean, and the third box is two standard deviations above the mean. Complete the boxes accurate to two decimal places.
