Sampling Distribution of Sample Means

A sampling distribution of sample means is a frequency distribution of the means of all possible random samples of a given size from a population. It shows the probability distribution of the sample means. To construct it: 1) Determine the number of possible samples of the given size that can be drawn from the population 2) Calculate the mean of each possible sample 3) Create a frequency distribution listing the sample means and their frequencies The document then provides detailed steps to construct a sampling distribution of means including an example using a population of test scores. It assigns constructing the sampling distribution for samples of size 5 drawn from a population of test scores as an assignment.

SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF SAMPLE MEANS

• The number of samples of size n that can be drawn from a population of size N is given by
NCn.

• A sampling distribution of sample means is a frequency distribution using the means computed
from all possible random samples of a specific size taken from a population.
• The probability distribution of the sample means is also called the sampling distribution of the
sample means.

Steps in Constructing the Sampling Distribution of the Means


1. Determine the number of possible samples that can be drawn from the population using the
formula:

where: N = size of the population


n = size of the sample
2. List all the possible samples and compute the mean of each sample.
3. Construct a frequency distribution of the sample means obtained in step 2.

Detailed Steps:
1. Identify your N (populayion size) and n (sample size)
2. Using the formula identify how many combinations are possible.
3. List all possible combinations of samples then compute for the mean.
4. Arrange the mean from lowest to highest without repetition.
5. Write the frequency of each sample mean then get its probability by using frequency over the
total frequency.
6. EXAMPLE:
A population consists of the numbers 2, 4, 9, 10, and 5.

a. List all possible samples of size 3 from this population.


b. Compute the mean of each sample.
c. Prepare a sampling distribution of the sample means.
d. The possible samples of size 3 from 2, 4, 9, 10, and 5 are…

The possible samples of size 3 from 2, 4, 9, 10, and 5 are…


The mean of each sample are as follows:
