    Question

    A population contains five numbers: 2, 3, 6, 8 and 11. Suppose you select 2 numbers at random (with return) from this population, then there are 25 possibilities. These possibilities are shown below:Ê

    ——– ——– ——– ——– ——— (2,2) (2,3) (2,6) (2,8) (2,11) (3,2) (3,3) (3,6) (3,8) (3,11) (6,2) (6,3) (6,6) (6,8) (6,11) (8,2) (8,3) (8,6) (8,8) (8,11) (11,2) (11,3) (11,6) (11,8) (11,11) ——– ——– ——– ——– ———

     What then is the expected value for the mean of the sample averages?


    1. FALSE: 3
    2. FALSE: 5,5
    3. TRUE: 6
    4. FALSE: 6,5
