Question 1009721: Suppose an x distribution has mean μ = 3. Consider two corresponding
x
distributions, the first based on samples of size n = 49 and the second based on samples of size n = 81.
(a) What is the value of the mean of each of the two
x
distributions?
For n = 49, μ
x
=
For n = 81, μ
x
=

The means will be unchanged. The variance will decrease with the square of the sample size. The second distribution will be more tightly clustered around the center, but the center is still the same.
