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?

Sadie deals 5 cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. She would like to deal as many spades as possible. Is it reasonable to approximate this distribution with a normal distribution? Give a reason.
In statistics we are able to make inference because statistics have a predictable distribution called a sampling distribution. One method of inference we have discussed is the idea of hypothesis testing. Explain briefly how the sampling distribution is used in the process of hypothesis testing.
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…
