The sampling distribution of the mean There are 359 full-service restaurants in Delaware. The mean number of seats per restaurant is 99.2. Suppose that the Delaware Tourism Board doesn't know that the population mean is 99.2. The Delaware Tourism Board to use the finite population correction when computing the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean is 3.83. This value (3.83) is also called of the mean, because it represents the variability you would expect to see if you repeated the experiment many times.

Which of the following describes how you would the experiment many (say 10) times?

a. You would 10 random samples of 30 full-service restaurants within the state and calculate mean number of seats across the 300 restaurants.
b. You would 10 random samples of 30 full service restaurants located within the state and calculate the mean number of seats in each of the 10 samples
c. You would randomly select 10 full-service restaurants within the state and the mean number of sots across the 10 restaurants.
