Using distribution of sample mean to find expected value, variance, bias and MSE of sample mean

35 Views Asked by At

enter image description here a) Determine the values of the population mean and the population variance. b) Suppose we use an SRSWOR of size $n=4$, list all the possible samples of size $4$. What is the probability for each sample to be selected? Determine the distribution of the sample mean. c) Using the distribution of the sample mean, compute the following quantities: Expectation of sample mean, variance of sample mean, bias of sample mean and MSE of sample mean for this sampling plan.

For parts (a) and (b), I am able to find the answers easily using R code. I am stuck at part (c), since I could not figure out what is the distribution of the sample mean. I am guessing the expectation of sample mean is the same as the population mean in part a. I am not sure how to proceed to find variance of sample mean.
