Expert Solution
Step 1

From the provided information,

The assets (in billions of dollars) of the four wealthiest people in a particular country are 43, 35, 22, 11. Assume that samples of size n=2 are randomly selected with replacement from this population of four values.

After identifying the 16 different possible samples and finding the mean of each sample, the table for sampling distribution of sample can be constructed as:

SAMPLE

Average

43,43

43

43,35

39

43,22

32.5

43,11
