Let's illustrate the idea of a sampling distribution in the case of a very small sample from a very small population. the given population is the scores of ten female students in a class. student 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 weight 136 99 118 129 125 170 130 128 120 147 the parameter of interest is the mean weight in pounds in this population. the sample is an srs of size =4 drawn from the population. because the students are labeled zero to nine, a single random digit from table a chooses one student for the sample. (a) find the mean of the ten weights in the population. this is the population mean . (enter your answer rounded to one decimal place.)

a:  sample mean: 130.2 pounds

This is not the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean weight of the sample, add up all the values and divide by the total number of values entered.  In this case, 10, so we have...

mean:  (136 + 99 + 118 + 129 + 125 + 170 + 130 + 128 + 120 + 147)/10 =

1302/10 = 130.2

This is not the population mean.  It is the mean of the sample.  We would have to know more information to make a conjecture about the population mean.

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
