Respuesta :

The difference in the average age of the sample and the population is probably due to sampling error

What is sampling error?

The sampling error in a statistical data is simply an error that arises when a sample that represents the population is not properly selected or analyzed

From the question, we have the following parameters:

[tex]\bar x = 21.2[/tex] -- the sample average

[tex]\mu = 19.4[/tex] -- the population average

Notice that:

[tex]\bar x \ne \mu[/tex]

i.e. sample and the population averages are not equal.

This difference is often as a result of sampling error
