Part (b): For samples of size 2, construct a table similar to Table 7.2 on page 293. (There are 15 possible samples of size 2.)
Part (c): Draw a dotplot for the sampling distribution of the sample mean for samples of size 2.
Part (d): For a random sample of size2, what is the chance that the sample mean will equal the population mean?
Part (e): For a random sample of size 2, determine the probability that the mean wealth of the two people obtained will be within 3 of the population mean. Interpret your result in terms of percentages.
