    Angelina De Asis
    This document contains solutions to multiple problems involving concepts of population and sampling distributions. Problem 1 discusses sampling from a population of vehicle tax values to determine the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean. Problem 2 involves a population of 5 numbers, calculating various statistics both for sampling with and without replacement of size 2 samples. It illustrates that the mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the population mean, and provides the formula and worked example to determine the standard deviation of the sampling distribution. Problem 3 provides a practice exercise to solve similarly for a different population.

    #1.The mean and standard deviation of the tax value of all vehicles registered in a certain city are µ= Php
    13,525 and σ=Php 4,180. Suppose random samples of size 100 are drawn from the population of
    vehicles. What are the mean µ x and standard deviation σ x of the sample mean x̅ ?
    Solutions:
    since n=100, the formulas yield
    σ
    and the mean µ x =µ=Php 13,525 and    σx =
    √n
    σ Php 4,180
        σx = =    σx = Php 418

    #2 A population consists of the five numbers 2,3,6,8,11. Consider all possible samples of size two which can be
    drawn with replacements from this population. Find the following:
    a.mean of the population
    b.standard deviation of the population
    c.mean of the sampling distribution of means
    d.standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means, i.e.the standard error of means.

    σ = =10.8 and σ=3.29

    c. There are 5(5)=25 samples of size two which can be drawn with replacement (since any one of five numbers
    on the first draw can be associated with any of five numbers on the second draw). These are as follows:
    (2,2) (2,3) (2,6) (2,8) (2,11)
    (3,2) (3,3) (3,6) (3,8) (3,11)
    (6,2) (6,3) (6,6) (6,8) (6,11)
    (8,2) (8,3) (8,6) (8,8) (8,11)
    (11,2) (11,3) (11,6) (11,8) (11,11)
    The corresponding sample means are
    2 2.5 4 5 6.5
    2.5 3 4.5 5.5 7
    4 4.5 6 7 8.5
    5 5.5 7 8 9.5
    6.5 7 8.5 9.5 11

    and the mean of the sampling distribution of means is

    µx=
    ∑ of all the sample means above
    25
    150
    µx= = 6 illustrating the fact that µx= µ

    d. The variance of the sampling distribution of means is obtained by:

    X-M ( X −M )2 X-M ( X −M )2

    d.σ x = =5.40
    25
    so that σ x = √ 5.40 =2.32
    therefore this illustrates the fact for finite population involving sampling with replacement (or infinite populations),
    2 σ 2. 10.8
    σ x = since the right hand side is = 5.40 agreeing with the above value.

    b. σ = 3.29
    c. There are 5C2 = 10 sample size two which can be drawn without replacement (this means that
    we draw one number and then another number different from the first) from the population ,
    namely
    (2,3), (2,6), (2,8),(2,11),(3,6),(3,8),(3,11), (6,8), (6,11), (8,11) the selection (2,3) is the same as (3,2). The
