Question
A group of friends has gotten very competitive with their board game nights. They have found that overall, they each have won an average of 18 games, with a population standard deviation of 6 games. If a sample of only 2 friends is selected at random from the group, select the expected
Select all that apply:
- σx¯=6 games
- σx¯=3 games
- σx¯=4 games
- μx¯=18 games
- μx¯=3 games
- μx¯=9 games
