Consider the population of all rolls of a fair six-sided die.
A. Draw a histogram that shows the population
distribution. Find the mean and standard deviation of this
distribution.

B. List all possible SRSs of size n = 2 (with replacement)
and compute the mean of each sample.

C. Draw a histogram of the sampling distribution.

D. Compare the mean and standard deviation of the
original population distribution with the mean and
standard deviation of the sampling distribution.
