Question
The assets (in billions of dollars) of the four wealthiest people in a particular country are 40, 33, 19, 17. Assume that samples of size n = 2 are randomly selected with replacement from this population of four values.
a. After identifying the 16 different possible samples and finding the mean of each sample, construct a table representing the sampling distribution of the sample mean. In the table, values of the sample mean that are the same have been combined.
