Let X be the number of packages being mailed by a randomly selected customer at a certain shipping facility. Suppose the distribution of X is as follows:
a. Consider a random sample of size n = 2 (two customers), and let
be the sample mean number of packages shipped. Obtain the probability distribution of
.
b. Refer to part (a) and calculate
c. Again consider a random sample of size n = 2, but now focus on the statistic R = the sample range (difference between the largest and smallest values in the sample). Obtain the distribution of R. [Hint: Calculate the value of R for each outcome and use the probabilities from part (a).]
d. If a random sample of size n = 4 is selected, what is
? (Hint: You should not have to list all possible outcomes, only those for which
