question 22

Essay

The probability distribution shown below describes a population of measurements that can assume values of 2, 5, 8, and 11, each of which occurs with the same frequency: $\begin{array}{l|rrrr}\hline x & 2 & 5 & 8 & 11 \\\hline p(x) & \frac{1}{4} & \frac{1}{4} & \frac{1}{4} & \frac{1}{4} \\\hline\end{array}$

Find $E ( x ) = \mu$ . Then consider taking samples of $n = 2$ measurements and calculating $\bar { x }$ for each sample. Find the expected value, $E ( \bar { x } )$ , of $\bar { x }$ .
