Python and R: Basic Sampling Problem

In this post, I would like to share a simple problem about sampling analysis. And I will demonstrate how to solve this using Python and R. The first two problems are originally from Sampling: Design and Analysis book by Sharon Lohr. Problems Let $N=6$ and $n=3$. For purposes of studying sampling distributions, assume that all population values are known. $y_1 = 98$ $y_2 = 102$ $y_3=154$ $y_4 = 133$ $y_5 = 190$ $y_6=175$ We are interested in $\bar{y}_U$, the population mean. Consider eight possible samples chosen. Sample No. Sample, $\mathcal{S}$ $P(\mathcal{S})$ 1 $\{1,3,5\}$ $1/8$ 2 $\{1,3,6\}$ $1/8$ 3 $\{1,4,5\}$ $1/8$ 4 $\{1,4,6\}$ $1/8$ 5 $\{2,3,5\}$ $1/8$ 6 $\{2,3,6\}$ $1/8$ 7 $\{2,4,5\}$ $1/8$ 8 $\{2,4,6\}$ $1/8$
