Question 8

Multiple Choice

The probability distribution shown below describes a population of measurements.
x024p(x) 1/31/31/3\begin{array}{c|ccc}\mathrm{x} & 0 & 2 & 4 \\\hline \mathrm{p}(\mathrm{x}) & 1 / 3 & 1 / 3 & 1 / 3\end{array}
Suppose that we took repeated random samples of n=2n = 2 observations from the population described above. Which of the following would represent the sampling distribution of the sample mean?


A)
x01234p(x) 1/51/51/51/51/5\begin{array}{c|ccccc}\overline{\mathrm{x}} & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\\hline \mathrm{p}(\overline{\mathrm{x}}) & 1 / 5 & 1 / 5 & 1 / 5 & 1 / 5 & 1 / 5\end{array}

B)
x01234p(x) 2/92/91/92/92/9\begin{array}{c|ccccc}\overline{\mathrm{x}} & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\\hline \mathrm{p}(\overline{\mathrm{x}}) & 2 / 9 & 2 / 9 & 1 / 9 & 2 / 9 & 2 / 9\end{array}

C)
xˉ024p(xˉ) 1/31/31/3\begin{array}{c|ccc}\bar{x} & 0 & 2 & 4 \\\hline \mathrm{p}(\bar{x}) & 1 / 3 & 1 / 3 & 1 / 3\end{array}
