Macmillan Learning Let s illustrate the idea of a sampling distribution in the case of a very small sample from a very small population The given population is the 10 female students in a class Student Weight Mean 0 1 2 136 99 118 137 8 3 4 129 125 The parameter of interest is the mean weight in pounds in this population The sample is an SRS of size n 4 drawn from the population Because the students are labeled 0 to 9 a single random digit from Table A chooses one student for the sample Incorrect 5 170 Repeat the process nine more times using the first four digits in rows 117 to 125 of Table A Calculate the mean of the ten values Provide your answer to one decimal place 6 7 8 9 130 128 120 147 Make a histogram of the 10 values of x You are constructing the sampling distribution of x
