Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the population.
Now take 10 samples of size 3 from the population. Use either simple random sampling or systematic sampling with the help of the table of random numbers in Appendix A. Calculate the mean for each sample.
Once you have calculated the mean for each sample, calculate the mean of means (i.e., add up your 10 sample means and divide by 10). How does this mean compare with the mean for all…

- On the following pages you are presented with five problems. Your job is to examine the output and discuss whether there is a statistically significant relationship between the two variables, the pattern or direction of the relationship if the relationship is significant, and the strength of the relationship if the relationship is significant. AS you discuss the strength of the relationship, you will rely on an appropriate measure of association from those that have been given. For that determination, you will need to appropriately determine the level of measurement of each of the variables being examined. Please use the Measures of Association Chart I provided to help you with your determination. You may write your responses on a separate document or next to the problems on this one.arrow_forward1.
