Multiple Choice

The probability distribution shown below describes a population of measurements. $\begin{array}{c|ccc}\mathrm{x} & 0 & 2 & 4 \\\hline \mathrm{p}(\mathrm{x}) & 1 / 3 & 1 / 3 & 1 / 3\end{array}$

Suppose that we took repeated random samples of $n = 2$ observations from the population described above. Which of the following would represent the sampling distribution of the sample mean?

• A) \(\begin{array}{c|ccc}
• \bar{x} & 0 & 2 & 4 \\
• \hline p(\bar{x}) & 1 / 3 & 1 / 3 & 1 / 3
• \end{array}\)
• B) \(\begin{array}{c|ccccc}
• \bar{x} & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
• \hline \mathrm{p}(\bar{x}) & 2 / 9 & 2 / 9 & 1 / 9 & 2 / 9 & 2 / 9
• \end{array}\)
• C)\(\begin{array}{c|ccccc}
• \overline{\mathrm{x}} & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
• \hline \mathrm{p}(\overline{\mathrm{x}}) & 1 / 9 & 2 / 9 & 3 / 9 & 2 / 9 & 1 / 9
• \end{array}\)
• D)\(\begin{array}{c|ccccc}
• \overline{\mathrm{x}} & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
• \hline \mathrm{p}(\overline{\mathrm{x})} & 1 / 5 & 1 / 5 & 1 / 5 & 1 / 5 & 1 / 5
• \end{array}\)
