Sampling distribution of sample mean:
Question
Construct the sampling distribution of a sample mean if random simple sample of size 2 are
drawn with replacement from the population. Find sample mean. Sample variance.

Solution:
Step1:
X X2 Population mean Population variance
∑𝑥 ∑𝑥2 ∑𝑥
1 1 µ= 𝑁 ∂2 = - [ 𝑁 ]2
𝑁
10 30 10
µ= = 2.5 ∂2 = 4 - [ 4 ]2
2 4 4
∂2 = 7.5 - [2.5]2
3 9 ∂2 = 7.5 - 6.25 =
1.25
4 16 ∂ = 1.1180
∑x = 10 ∑x2 = 30
Step 2
Drawn sample with replacement:
Population =[1,2,3,4] Sample with replacement = (N)n
Sample =2 Sample with replacement = (4)2 =16
1st column= 16/4=4 2nd column= 4/4=1

Mean of Sample: Variance of Sample
µx̅ = ∑ x̅ f (x̅ )= 2.5 ∂2x̅ = ∑ x̅2 f (x̅) - [∑ x̅ f (x̅)]2
∂2x̅ = 6.8751 - [2.5]2
∂2x̅ = 6.8751 - 6.25 = 0.6251
Standard Error ∂x̅ = √( 6.8751 - 6.25)
∂x̅= √0.6251
∂x̅= 0.7906
