Questions: 1. Imagine I took a bunch of samples of the same size from a population that is skewed right, such as home prices in a particular area, calculated a sample mean for each sample, and constructed a histogram of the sample means -what will the shape of the histogram look like (appoximately)? In other words, describe the distribution of the sample means. 2. What is the notation for the sample mean? You can just describe it or name it. 3. What is the notation for the population mean? (note: click on the three vertical dots above and click sqrt of x and choose "Greek" for options) 4. If the mean of the original population (or parent population) is $700,000, what is the mean of the distribution of sample means? All three videos will help you answer this question but the applet will be very helpful.
