5.5 Constructing a sampling distribution. Refer to Example 5.1 (page 272). Suppose Student Monitor also reported that the median number of weekly hours per course spent outside of class was 2.5 hours.

a. Explain why we’d expect the population median to be less than the population mean in this setting by drawing the distribution of weekly hours per course spent outside of class for all undergraduates. This is called the population distribution.

b. Using Figure 5.2 (page 274) as a guide and your distribution from part (a), describe how to approximate the sampling distribution of the sample median in this setting.
