Consider a hypothetical population of dogs in which there are four possible weights, all of which are equally likely: 42, 48, 52, or 58 pounds. If a sample of size n =2 is drawn from this population, what is the sampling distribution of the total weight of the two dogs selected? That is, what are the possible values for the total and what are the probabilities associated with each of those values?

Using probability concepts, it is found that the distribution of total weights is given by:

$P(X = 84) = \frac{1}{16}$

$P(X = 90) = \frac{1}{8}$

$P(X = 94) = \frac{1}{8}$

$P(X = 96) = \frac{1}{16}$

$P(X = 100) = \frac{1}{4}$

$P(X = 104) = \frac{1}{16}$

$P(X = 106) = \frac{1}{8}$

$P(X = 110) = \frac{1}{8}$

$P(X = 116) = \frac{1}{16}$

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Considering that all weights are equally as likely, we can put it all into a "table", with 4^2 = 16 total options.

Dog 1 - Dog 2 - Total

42 - 42 - 84

42 - 48 - 90

42 - 52 - 94

42 - 58 - 100

48 - 42 - 90

48 - 48 - 96

48 - 52 - 100

48 - 58 - 106

52 - 42 - 94

52 - 48 - 100

52 - 52 - 104

52 - 58 - 110

58 - 42 - 100

58 - 48 - 106

58 - 52 - 110

58 - 58 - 116

Thus, the possible outcomes are:

1 for 84, 96, 104, 116.2 for 90, 94, 106, 110.4 for 100.

Thus, the distribution is:

$P(X = 84) = \frac{1}{16}$

$P(X = 90) = \frac{1}{8}$

$P(X = 94) = \frac{1}{8}$

$P(X = 96) = \frac{1}{16}$

$P(X = 100) = \frac{1}{4}$

$P(X = 104) = \frac{1}{16}$

$P(X = 106) = \frac{1}{8}$

$P(X = 110) = \frac{1}{8}$

$P(X = 116) = \frac{1}{16}$

Total mean total probability

84 48 1/16

90 45 1/8

94 47 1/8

96 48 1/16

100 50 1/4

104 52 1/ 16

106 53 1/8

110 55 1/8

116 58 1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the weights :

42 ; 48 ; 52 ; 58

Sample size, n = 2

Number of weights = 4 ; size of sample space = 4^n = 4^2 = 16

Since the weights are distinct :

Probability of each (two Selections = 1/4 * 1/4) = 1/16

Possible selections :

(42,42),(42,48),(48,42),(42,52),(52,42),(42,58),(58,42),(48,48),(48,52),(52,48),(48,58),(58,48),(52,52),(52,58),(58,52),(58,58)

All have probabilities of 1/16

Sample total ___ sample. Mean ___ probability

Use the spider tool located on page 1 of this activity to draw a 12-pointed star for the new logo. (hint: if the spider rotates 360 degrees -- or 720 degrees or 1080 degrees -- she will be facing in the same direction in which she started. when the spider is done drawing, you want her to be facing in the same direction in which she started. she'll be making 12 rotations, all the same size, so each rotation must be some multiple of 360/12 = 30 degrees.) urgently. been stuck on this problem for around 45 minutes now.! it should be easy if you're smart enough
