Which of the following commands could we use in RStudio in order to 1) create a sample of 100 observations of the following: the sample mean of 10 draws from the uniform distribution on [0,2]; and 2) calculate the sample variance of those 100 observations? I. replicate(var(100,mean(runif(10,max=2)))) II. var(replicate(100,mean(runif(10)))) III. var(replicate(100,mean(runif(10,max=2))))

A random sample X1,...,Xm is drawn from a distribution F that has mean mew and variance sigma squared. What do we know about the distribution of the sample mean Xbarn = 1/nΣXi?
It has mean mew and variance sigma squared over n but we do not know its exact distribution.
Suppose that X1,...,Xn form a random sample from the normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ2. If a random interval (A,B) is a 95% confidence interval for μ, what does that mean?
Pr(A<m<B)>0.95
A random variable 𝑋 has mean 𝜇. If a random interval ሺ𝐴,𝐵ሻ is a 95% confidence interval for 𝜇, what does that mean?
Pr(A<𝝁<B)≥0.95
Suppose that the random variable X has the normal distribution with mean 103 and variance 4. What is the smallest value of c such that Pr(103−c≤X<103+c)≥0.9?
c = 3.29
Suppose that the random variable X has the normal distribution with mean 3 and variance 4. What is the smallest value of c such that Pr(3−c≤X<3+c)≥0.9?
c = 3.29
