Pictured below (in scrambled order) are three histograms: One of them represents a population distribution. The other two are sampling distributions of x-bar; one for sample size n = 5, and one for sample size n = 30.

  1. Which of the following 6 possible orderings of the three histograms represents the sequence:
    • Population distribution
    • Sampling distribution of x-bar for sample size n = 5
    • Sampling distribution of x-bar for sample size n = 30?


  2. Based on the histograms, the most likely value of the population mean is:
