Sampling
Probability A probability sample is a sample selected

Sampling in such a way that each item or person in


the population being studied has a known
likelihood of being included in the sample.
Sampling The sampling distribution of the sample
means is a probability distribution
Distribution: consisting of all possible sample means of
a given sample size selected from a
Sample Means population, and the probability of
occurrence associated with each sample
mean.
Developing Sampling Distribution

- Suppose There’s a Population ...


- Population Size, N = 4
- Random Variable, X,
- Is # Errors in Work
- Values of X: 1, 2, 3, 4
Population Characteristics
Summary Measures Population Distribution
All possible samples of size N = 2
Sampling Distribution of All Sample Means
Summary Measures of All Possible Sample Means
Comparison of Population
& Sampling Distribution
Standard Error of the Sample Mean
Standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample means

x symbol for the standard error of the


sample mean

x =
n  the standard deviation of the
population

n is the size of the sample


Sampling from Normal Populations
Sampling from Non Normal Populations
Example: Effect of Sample Size
Central Limit Theorem
Example
The mean age at which men in Thailand marry for the first time is 28
years with a standard deviation of 7. The shape of the population is
unknown. For a random sample of 36 men, what is the probability that
the mean age at which they were married for the first time is less than 27
years?
Example
The average score of all pro golfers for a particular course has a mean of
70 and a standard deviation of 3.0. Suppose 49 golfers played the course
today. Find the probability that the average score of the 49 golfers
exceeded 72.
Proportions
• Categorical Variable (e.g., Gender)
• % Population Having a Characteristic
• If Two Outcomes, Binomial Distribution
• Possess - Don’t Possess Characteristic
• Sample Proportion (p)
Sampling Distribution of Proportion

1. Approximated by Normal Distribution


2. Mean
µp = 𝜋
3. Standard Error
Thinking Challenge
You’re manager of a bank. 45% of depositors have multiple accounts.
You select a random sample of 250 customers. What is the probability
that the sample proportion of depositors with multiple accounts would be
between 44% and 47% ?
Example
Records of an automobile insurance company show that 12% of its
policyholders were involved in an accident during the past year. A random
sample of 200 policyholders is to be selected. The probability that the
sample proportion of policy holders involved in an accident is less than
10% is ________.
