1. A.Explain why the spread (variance) of a sampling distribution for estimating a mean would be smaller than the spread (variance) of the whole population.
B.Discuss what happens to the shape AND spread of a sampling distribution as sample size (n) is increased.
C.Explain why it is essential that the sampling distribution be normally distributed (or t-distributed) in order to do the statistical inference procedures.

Comment on the Shape, Center, and Spread of the distribution of sample means. Will the mean change from the population mean in a sampling mean distribution? What happens to the standard deviation of the three distributions when the sample size increases? Does the parent population have to be normal in order for the sampling mean distributions to be normal? Explain why/why not.

Which of the following statements about the sampling distribution of the sample mean, x-bar, is not true? The distribution is normal regardless of the shape of the population distribution, as long as the sample size, n, is large enough. The distribution is normal regardless of the sample size, as long as the population distribution is normal. The distribution's mean is the same as the population mean. The distribution's standard deviation is smaller than the population standard deviation. All of the...

Here are three statements about the sampling distribution of the sample mean. Which of the three statements is/are true? 1. As we raise the sample size n, the sampling distribution of the sample mean has a smaller standard deviation. 2. Regardless of the sample size n, the sampling distribution of the sample mean has mean equal to the population mean. 3. The sampling distribution of the sample mean will always have the same shape as the population distribution.

Which of the following is true about the sampling distribution of means? Shape of the sampling distribution of means is always the same shape as the population distribution, no matter what the sample size is. Sampling distribution of the mean is always right skewed since means cannot be smaller than 0. Sampling distributions of means are always nearly normal. Sampling distributions of means get closer to normality as the sample size increases.
