    Caps of Coke bottles vary slightly in diameter. Suppose you take two random samples of 40 and 60 caps, respectively. Do they have the same distribution?


    1. FALSE: Yes, they have the same means and standard errors.
    2. FALSE: No, the sample of 40 caps has a larger mean and standard error than the sample of 60.
    3. FALSE: No, the sample of 60 caps has a larger mean and standard error than the sample of 40.
    4. FALSE: No, they have different means and standard errors.
    5. TRUE: No, they have the same means but different standard errors.
