Question

Several times during the​ year, an organization takes random samples from the population. One such​ survey, based on a large​ (several thousand) sample of randomly selected​ households, estimates the mean retirement income to be​ $21,201 per year. Suppose we were to make a histogram of all of the retirement incomes from this sample. Would the histogram be a display of the population​ distribution, the distribution of a​ sample, or the sampling distribution of​ means?

A. The histogram would be a display of the distribution of a sample.
B. The histogram would be a display of the sampling distribution of means.
C. The histogram would be a display of the population distribution

Answer 1

The histogram would be a display of the distribution of a sample.

Explanation:

One such​ survey, based on a large​ (several thousand) sample of randomly selected​ households, estimates the mean retirement income to be​ $21,201 per year.

Suppose we were to make a histogram of all of the retirement incomes from this sample.

So, the histogram would be a display of the distribution of a sample.

Histogram shows numerical data and represents the frequency distribution of continuous variables.
