1. Construct the sampling distribution of the sample mean for the population that consists of the scores 2, 6, 10,
14, and 18 with a sample size of 2. Compute as well the mean and variance of the sampling distribution.

Given:

2 6 10 14 18

Sample size:

n= 5
r= 2

Sample size = 5!
2!(5-2)!
= 10

x(mean) SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION For Computations

2, 6 4.00 x Frequency P(x) x⋅P(x) x2⋅P(x)
2, 10 6.00 4 1 0.1 0.4 1.60
2, 14 8.00 6 1 0.1 0.6 3.60
2, 18 10.00 8 2 0.2 1.6 12.80
6, 10 8.00 10 2 0.2 2 20.00
6, 14 10.00 12 2 0.2 2.4 28.80
6, 18 12.00 14 1 0.1 1.4 19.60
10, 14 12.00 16 1 0.1 1.6 25.60
10, 18 14.00 TOTAL 10 1 10 112
14, 18 16.00

Mean= 0.4+0.6+1.6+2+2.4+1.4+1.6
Mean= 10

Variance = (1.6+3.6+12.8+20+28.8+19.6+25.6) -10^2

Variance = 12

2. Construct the sampling distribution of the sample mean for the population that consists of the scores 75, 78,
81, 84, and 87 with a sample size of 3. Compute as well the mean and variance of the sampling distribution.

Given:
75 78 81 84 87

Sample size:

n= 5
r= 3

Sample size = 5!
3!(5-3)!
= 10
