Explanation of Solution

The sampling distribution is a distribution of a sample statistic. When using a procedure that repeatedly samples from a population and each time computes the same sample statistic, the resulting distribution of sample statistics is a sampling distribution of that statistic. Thus, simply we can say that, sampling distribution is a graph of a statistic for your sample data. For example, if we calculate sample mean then our sampling distribution would be the sampling distribution of the sample mean, as it is for median,variance,standard deviation,range etc. Every statistic has a sampling distribution.

The sampling distribution has a mean and standard deviation. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is called as standard error. The key points for identifying the sampling distribution are that, if many samples are repeatedly taken for the same subjects in the population, then the distribution of the samples represent sampling distribution and if only one sample is taken for the same subjects in the population, then the distribution of the sample is not a sampling distribution.

A population that is uniformly distributed between a=0and b=10 is given in sample sizes ​50(   ​), ​100(   ​), ​250(   ​), and ​500(   ​). Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviations for the given data. Compare your results to the average of means for a sample of size​ 10, and use the empirical rules to analyze the sampling error. For each​ sample, also find the standard error of the mean using formula given below.   Standard Error of the Mean =sigma/Root  Complete the following table with the results from the sampling experiment. ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

A survey of 250250 young professionals found that two dash thirdstwo-thirds of them use their cell phones primarily for​ e-mail. Can you conclude statistically that the population proportion who use cell phones primarily for​ e-mail is less than 0.720.72​? Use a​ 95% confidence interval.       Question content area bottom Part 1 The​ 95% confidence interval is left bracket nothing comma nothing right bracket0.60820.6082, 0.72510.7251. As 0.720.72 is within the limits   of the confidence​ interval, we cannot   conclude that the population proportion is less than 0.720.72. ​(Use ascending order.
