So the variance of the sampli What is the standard deviation of the population? the sampling distribution? Let us compare the means, variances & standard deviations of the population and the sampling distribution of the sample means. Computed Result Population (N = 5) Sampling Distribution of the Sample Means (n = 2) Mean M = 3 My = 3 Variance 02 = 2 03 = 0.75 Standard Deviation 0 = 1.41 Ox = 0.87 What have you observed of the mean, variance & standard deviation of the population & the sampling distribution of the sample means? What's More . .. A population consists of the five measurements 2, 6, 8, 3 & 1. How many different samples of size n = 2 can be drawn from the population? What is the mean & variance of the sampling distribution of the sample means? Follow steps 1 to 6. Lesson 2: Mean and Variance with Replacement What is it . . . Properties of the Sampling Distribution of the Sample Means 1. The mean of the sampling distribution equal to the
