Solution Steps

Step 1: List all possible samples

For a population of 3 individuals, with ages [56, 46, 60], there are 9 possible samples. Samples: [(56, 56), (56, 46), (56, 60), (46, 56), (46, 46), (46, 60), (60, 56), (60, 46), (60, 60)]

Step 2: Calculate the range for each sample

Sample ranges: [0, 10, 4, 10, 0, 14, 4, 14, 0]

Step 3: Summarize the sampling distribution of the ranges

Sample Range | Probability 0 | 0.33 4 | 0.22 10 | 0.22 14 | 0.22

Step 4: Compare the population range to the mean of the sample ranges

Population range: 14 Mean of sample ranges: 6.22

Final Answer:

The population range is 14, while the mean of the sample ranges is 6.22.
