7.3 The sampling distribution of the sample mean can be generated by listing out all possible samples of size n, calculate each possible x , determine the probability of each possible x and generate the sampling distribution. Alternatively, the probabilities of each x can be generated by use of the binomial formula. a. When n = 5: Use the binomial formula for x = 0, x = 1, etc.: x X P(X) 0 .07776 0 1 .25920 .2 2 .34560 .4 3 .23040 .6 4 .07680 .8 5 .01024 1.0 p(1 − p ) .4(.6) 2 E ( px ) = np = (5)(.4) = 2.0, σ p = = = = .048, σ p = .2191 n 5

7.4 The response should note that there will be errors in taking a census of the entire population as well as errors in taking a sample. Improved accuracy can be achieved via sampling methods versus taking a complete census (see reference to Hogan, 90). By using sample information, we can make valid inferences about the entire population without the time and expense involved in taking a census. 7.5

When the population size (N) equals the sample size (n), then there is no variation away from the population mean and the standard error will be zero. As the sample size becomes relatively small compared to the population size, the correction factor tends towards 1 and the correction factor becomes less significant in the calculation of the standard error c. The correction factor tends toward a value of 1 and becomes progressively less important as a modifying factor when the sample size decreases relative to the population size

7.63 A sample mean can be thought of as a random variable since there are a very large number of possible samples, sample size n, that can be drawn from a population. Each of those samples is likely to have a different sample mean. Therefore, all possible sample means, sample size n, will have its own probability distribution. This probability distribution is made up of all possible sample means calculated from all possible samples of a certain size drawn from a specific population 7.64

1 ∑ xi = 36.8333 . This is the result expected from the Central Limit N Theorem. 7.65 The central limit theorem states that as the sample size increases, the sampling distribution of the sample mean tends toward the normal probability distribution, allowing use of the normal probability distribution for estimating population means. 450 − 420 ) = P(Z > 1.5) = .0668 100 25 400 − 420 450 − 420 b.
