Answer

a. 0, 4/16 2, 2/16 3, 2/16 7, 2/16 9, 2/16 10, 2/16 12, 2/16 b. 12 c. No

Work Step by Step

a. We know there are 4 numbers, so there are $4^2=16$ ways to combine them. Combining the values with the same ranges, we obtain the following: Median, probability: 0, 4/16 2, 2/16 3, 2/16 7, 2/16 9, 2/16 10, 2/16 12, 2/16 b. We see that the population range of this set is 12. c. The population range is not unbiased, for it is not equal to the sample range.
