Question #189935

A group of students got the following scores in a test: 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21. Consider sample of size 4 that can be drawn from this population.


How many possible samples of size 4 can be drawn?


List all the possible samples and compute the sample mean.

 The number of possible samples of size 4 can be calculated as: nCr=n!r!(nr)!_nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!\left(n-r\right)!} where n = population size, r = sample size.

nCr=72048=15_nC_r=\frac{720}{48}=15\:

Number of possible samples of size 4 is 15.

To calculate the mean of the possible outcomes we use the formula:Mean=sumofvaluesofapossibleotcomesamplesizeMean=\frac{sum\:of\:values\:of\:a\:possible\:otcome}{sample\:size}



To calculate the Probability P (X) we use the formula: ProbabilityP(X)=FrequencyNumberofpossibleoutcomesProbability\:P\left(X\right)=\frac{Frequency}{Number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}



A histogram corresponding to the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
