Unable to determine with provided information b. the sample from Population B c. the sample from Population A d. The samples will have the same standard error of the mean
Suppose that you are wanting to estimate the mean of a population in which the standard deviation, , is known to be 5. You take a random sample of size n=50 from the population and determine that the mean of the sample is 22.4. a. What is the standard error (of the mean) to two decimal places? b. If you wanted 94% confidence in your results, then what would be the maximum allowable error (error of the estimate), E, to...
regarding the distribution of sample means which of the following statements is false the standard error of distribution of sample means is a measure of the average distance of each sample mean from the larger population the distribution of sample means shows how smaller sample means are distributed around a lsrger sample mean the distribution of sample means shows how different samples from a population will vary to some extent thevstandard error of the distribution of sample means will increase...

A) The distribution of observations of the statistic for all possible sizes of samples from a population B) The distribution of all possible observations of the statistic for samples of a given size from a population C)...
