Answer to Problem 40CE
The possible number of different samples when a fair die is rolled two times is 36:
Explanation of Solution
From the given information, the fair die is rolled two times.
A fair die has 6 sides.
Then, the possible number of different samples when a fair die is rolled two times is obtained by using the following formula:
Thus, the possible number of different samples when a fair die is rolled two times is 36:

Answer to Problem 40CE
All possible samples are
The mean of each sample is 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6.
Explanation of Solution
The mean is calculated by using the following formula:
Sample | Mean |
Thus, all possible samples are
Thus, the mean of each sample is 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6.

d.
Find the mean and the standard deviation of each distribution.
Give the comparison between the mean and standard deviation of each distribution.
d.

Answer to Problem 40CE
The mean and standard deviation of the population distribution is 3.5 and 1.871.
The mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 3.5 and 1.225.
The mean of the population distribution is exactly same as the population distribution. The standard deviation of the population distribution is greater than the population distribution.
Explanation of Solution

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the mean and variance using MINITAB:
- Choose Stat > Basic statistics > Display
Descriptive statistics . - Under Variables, enter Face value.
- Click on Statistics. Select Mean and Standard deviation.
- Click OK.
Output using MINITAB software is given below:
From the MINITAB output, the mean and standard deviation of the population distribution is 3.5 and 1.871.
Step-by-step procedure to obtain the mean and variance using MINITAB:
- Choose Stat > Basic statistics > Display Descriptive statistics.
- Under Variables, enter the column of Sample mean.
- Click on Statistics. Select Mean and Standard deviation.
- Click OK.
Output using MINITAB software is given below:
From the MINITAB output, the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 3.5 and 1.225.
Thus, the mean and standard deviation of the population distribution is 3.5 and 1.871.
Thus, the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 3.5 and 1.225.
Comparison:
The mean and standard deviation of the population distribution is 3.5 and 1.871. The mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 3.5 and 1.225.
Thus, the mean of the population distribution is exactly same as the population distribution. The standard deviation of the population distribution is greater than the population distribution.
