Anytime we take a sample, we are trying to represent some larger population. Explain how the concepts of the sampling distribution, standard error, and significance level are used to test the mean of a sample to see how probable it is that a sample like that could have been built.

Anytime we take a sample, we are trying to represent some larger population. Choose two of the following concepts: the sampling distribution, standard error, or critical value, and describe how they are used together to test the mean of a sample to see how closely the sample matches the population. You can also talk about what effect these concepts have on the chances of committing a type I or type II error.

1. There is a population of three people: Xerxes, Yasmin, and Zoe. [Note: this is a population, not a sample.] They are asked how many books they read last month. Xerxes read 2 books, Yasmin read 4 books, and Zoe read 12 books. We are too lazy to poll the entire population, so we take a sample of two (with replacement and order matters). Please draw the sampling distribution of the mean ofa sample of size two. 2. Continuing with...

3) Suppose you know the population mean and are interested in seeing how a sample average compares to this mean. You take some samples of size 10 and other samples of size 35. How will the sampling distribution of the means be different for the larger size samples compared to the sampling distribution of the means for the smaller size samples? (Note: This is a multiple-choice question - write the letter of the correct answer.) (1 point) A. The sampling...

The weight (in pounds) for a population of school-aged children is normally distributed with a mean equal to 133 ± 21 pounds (μ ± σ). Suppose we select a sample of 100 children (n = 100) to test whether children in this population are gaining weight at a 0.05 level of significance. a. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? b. What is the critical value for this test? c. What is the mean of the sampling distribution? d. What...

A. Suppose you take a sample of size n from a population and calculate a statistic from that sample. The statistic could be a sample proportion p, a sample mean x, or another statistic. Then suppose we repeat this process over and over again until we find all possible samples of size n from the population (this is a theoretical idea) and we calculate the same statistic from 1. each sample. The collection of all of the statistics calculated is...
