Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider the idea of a sampling distribution in the case of a very small sample from a
very small population. The population is 10 students in a certain class:
Student
1
3
4
6.
7
8
9.
Weight
136
99
118
129
125
170
130
128
120
147
The mean weight in pounds u in this population is the parameter of interest.
la) Finish filling in the frequency distribution table:
Counts (Frequency)
90-109.9
