The assets (in billions of dollars) of the 4 wealthiest people in a particular country are 38, 35, 27, 17. Assume that samples of size n = 2 are randomly selected with replacement from this population of 4 values. After identifying the 16 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. (Type integers or fractions.)

Question

The assets (in billions of dollars) of the 4 wealthiest people in a particular country are 38, 35, 27, 17. Assume that samples of size n = 2 are randomly selected with replacement from this population of 4 values. After identifying the 16 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. (Type integers or fractions.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Mean is the average value of the observations.

If the samples of size 2 is randomly selected with replacement from a population of size 4, then the number of samples is 16 (= 4 × 4).
