Most households have 0, 1, or 2 children, although some have 3, 4, 5, or even more than 5 children. The mean number of children per household is μ = 2.75 children with standard deviation o = 1.22 children. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of x for SRSS of size n = 50 from the population of households. Because n = 50 > 30, the sampling distribution of x will be approximately normal. Because n = 50 > 30, the sampling distribution of x will be skewed to the right, but not as strongly as the population. 50 > 30, the sampling distribution of x will be skewed to the right just as strongly as the population. Because n = Because n = 50 > 30, we do not have enough information to draw a conclusion about the shape of the sampling distribution of x. Because n = 50 > 30, the sampling distribution of x will be skewed to the right even more strongly than the population.arrow_forward
- Histogram of random samples data are often used as an indication of the shape of the underlying population distribution. The histograms on the next page are based on random samples of 30, 50 and 100 from the same population. A) Using the midpoint labels of the three histograms, what wouldyou say about the estimated range of the population data from the smallest to largest? Does the bulk of the data seem to be between8 and 12 in all histogram? B) The population distribution from which the sample were drawn in symmetric and mound-shaped, with the top of the mound at 10.95% of the data between 8 and 12 and 99.7% of data between 7 and 13.
