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...

x, and S1 are the sample mean and sample variance from a population with mean μ| and variance ơf. Similarly, X2 and S1 are the sample mean and sample variance from a second population with mean μ and variance σ2. Assume that these two populations are independent, and the sample sizes from each population are n,and n2, respectively. (a) Show that X1-X2 is an unbiased estimator of μ1-μ2. (b) Find the standard error of X, -X. How could you estimate...

1. Select all true statements about sample mean and sample median. A) When the population distribution is skewed, sample mean is biased but sample median is an unbiased estimator of population mean. B) When the population distribution is symmetric, both mean and sample median are unbiased estimators of population mean.
