a sample of weights of 100 MM candies if we explore this sam

\"a sample of weights of 100 M&M candies. if we explore this sample of 100 weights by constructing a histogram and finding the mean and standard deviation, do these results describe the sample distribution of the mean? why or why not\"

Solution

Actually, a sample can\'t give the detail of sampling distribution. However, you can predict the distribution using the following -

The sampling distribution will have the mean same as the sample data. That means the mean of the distribution will be same as the mean of these 100 data.

And the standard error of sampling can be estimated using the sample size and standard deviation of sample as -

SE = s / sqrt{n}

There is no need of histogram in it.
