6. Compute the mean of the sampling Sample ProbabilityP(x̄) x̄• P(x̄)
distribution of the sample means (μx̄). Follow mean
these steps:

1.50 1/10 0.15

a. Multiply the sample mean by the
corresponding probability. 2.00 1/10 0.20

2.50 1/5 0.50

b. Add the results. 3.00 1/5 0.60

3.50 1/5 0.70

4.00 1/10 0.40

4.50 1/10 0.45

Total 1.00 3.00
