Week 5 Gradable Discussion Random Sampling Error No unread replies.No replies. Suppose we want to determine the average points per game of an NBA player from 2008-2009. -If I sample approximately 30 players 8 times, and calculate their average points per game I'll end up with 8 different sets of descriptive statistics. -The critical question is whether each sample is representative of the population? On slide 10 of the course slides for Week 5, there are 8 random samples of the population of NBA players. You will notice that the means and standard deviations, descriptive statistics, are different in each sample. This is random sampling error! In your own words, please answer the following questions: 1. Why are there differences in the mean and standard deviations for each sample? 2. Why are these differences referred to as sampling errors? Your initial response should be at least 350 words.
