so that σ x = √ 5.40 =2.32
therefore this illustrates the fact for finite population involving sampling with replacement (or infinite populations),

σ x = since the right hand side is = 5.40 agreeing with the above value.

Practice exercise 3.3
1.A population consists of the four numbers 3,7,11,15. Consider all possible samples of size two which can be
drawn with replacement from this population. Find the:
a. Population mean
b. Population standard deviation
c. Mean of sampling distribution of means
d. Standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means
2. Solve problem number 1 if the sampling is without replacement
