To the right are the outcomes that are possible when a couple has three children. Assume that boys and girls are equally likely, so that the eight simple events are
equally likely. Find the probability that when a couple has three children, there are exactly 2 boys.

Use the population of {37, 29, 24, 13} of the amounts of caffeine (mg/12 oz) in four beverages. Assume that random samples of size n=2 are selected with replacement. Complete parts
(a) through (c) below.
a. After identifying the 16 different possible samples and finding the mean of each sample, construct a table representing the sampling distribution of the sample mean. In the table, values
of the sample mean that are the same have been combined.

b. Compare the mean of the population to the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
The mean of the population, is
the mean of the sample means,
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
c. Do the sample means target the value of the population mean? In general, do sample means make good estimates of population means? Why or why not?
The sample means
V the population mean. In general, sample means
make good estimates of population means because the mean is
estimator.
