Section 6-1

6-1.      No, usually not. For example if the sample is {2, 3} the mean is 2.5 which is not an observation in the sample.

6-3.      No, usually not. For example, the mean of {1, 4, 4} is 3 which is not even an observation in the sample.

6-5.      Yes. For example, {5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5}, the sample mean = 5, sample standard deviation = 0
