Textbook Question

Chapter 7.1, Problem 2LC

All the possible random samples of size n = 2 are selected from a population with μ = 40 and σ = 10 and the mean is computed for each sample. Then all the possible samples of size n = 25 are selected from the same population and the mean is computed for each sample. How will the distribution of sample means for n = 2 compare with the distribution for n = 25?

a. The two distributions will have the same mean and variance.
b. The mean and the variance for n = 25 will both be larger than the mean and variance for n = 2.
c. The mean and the variance for n = 25 will both be smaller than the mean and variance for n = 2.
d. The variance for n = 25 will be smaller than the variance for n = 2 but the two distributions will have the same mean.

Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table. Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points) Starting salary % Raise Raise Salary after raise 75000 10% 7500 82500 82500 4% 3300…
