Answer:

a) \sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414

b) \sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414

c) \sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414

d) \sigma _{\bar x} = 1.343

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The random sample is of size 50 i.e the population standard deviation  =10

Size of the sample n = 50

a) The population size is infinite;

The standard error is determined as:

\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50}}

\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414

b) When the population size N= 50000

n/N = 50/50000 = 0.001 < 0.05

Thus ; the finite population of the standard error is not applicable in this scenario;

Therefore;

The standard error is determined as:

\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50}}

\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414

c)  When the population size N= 5000

n/N = 50/5000 = 0.01 < 0.05

Thus ; the finite population of the standard error is not applicable in this scenario;

Therefore;

The standard error is determined as:

\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50}}

\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414

d) When the population size N= 500

n/N = 50/500 = 0.1 > 0.05

So; the finite population of the standard error is applicable in this scenario;

Therefore;

The standard error is determined as:

\sigma _{\bar x} = \sqrt{\dfrac{N-n}{N-1} }\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

\sigma _{\bar x} = \sqrt{\dfrac{500-50}{500-1} }\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50} } }

\sigma _{\bar x} = 1.343
