The document discusses sampling distributions of sample means. It defines a sampling distribution of sample means and sampling error. It provides steps to construct the sampling distribution, including determining possible random samples, computing the mean of each sample, and constructing the distribution. An example is given of listing possible samples from a population and their means and frequencies to build the distribution.

Sampling Distribution of Sample Means

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
means of the samples are less than or greater
than the mean of the population.
Sampling error

The difference between the sample


mean and the population mean.
Steps in Constructing the Sampling Distribution of
the Means

1. Determine the number of sets of all


possible random samples that can be drawn
from the given population by using the
formula, Nn where N is the population size
and n is the sample size.
2. List all possible samples and
compute the mean of each sample.

3. Construct the sampling


distribution.
Example:
A population consists of the number
5,7,3,9,and 4. Let us list all possible
sample size of 3 from this population and
compute the mean of each sample.

Sam Stardisc receives 85 or 82 as his grade on his
three major subjects. Construct the sampling
distribution of his mean grade.
What is the probability that his mean grade is lower
than 84?

What Is the probability that his mean grade is


greater than 83?
Steps in Constructing the Sampling
Distribution of the Means

1.Compute the population mean.


2.Compute the population variance.
3.Determine the number of possible samples.
4.List all possible samples and their
corresponding means.
5. Construct the sampling distribution of the
sample means.
6. Compute the mean of the sampling
distribution of the sample means.
7. Compute the variance of the sampling
distribution of the sample means.
8. Construct the histogram.
A population consists of the number
5,7,3,9,and 4. Let us list all possible sample
size of 3 from this population and compute
the mean and variance of the sampling
distribution of the sample means.
