1. How many different samples of size n=3 can be selected from a population with
the following sizes?
a. N=4
4C3=4
b. N=8
8C3=56
c. N=20
20C3=1,140
d. N=50
50C3=19,600

2. A population consists of the numbers 2,3,6,8 and 11. Consider samples of size 2
that can be drawn from the population.

a. List all the possible samples and the corresponding mean.

SAMPLE MEAN
2,3,6 5.50
2,3,8 6.50
2,3,11 8.00
2,6,8 8.00
2,6,11 9.50
2,8,11 10.50
3,6,8 8.50
3,6,11 10.00
3,8,11 11.00
6,8,11 12.50
b. Construct the sampling distribution of the sample means.
