    Uploaded by

    Marc Graham Nacua
    The document discusses sampling distributions and provides examples of computing the mean, standard error, and variance of random samples drawn from populations. It defines key terms like population mean, sample mean, standard deviation, and standard error. Examples demonstrate how to calculate these values for different sample sizes drawn from given populations.

    Sampling Distribution

    A sampling distribution is a distribution that shows


    the proportions or probabilities with which values
    of statistics are observed when all the possible
    random samples are drawn from a given
    population.

    Example. A population has 50 respondents.A


    sample of 15 respondents are selected and
    corresponding sample statistics are computed like
    the mean, standard deviation , variance. Suppose
    we replaced the first 15 members with another
    set of 15 members and compute the same
    sample statictics of this group.If the process is
    repeated for several times, we will find out that
    the sample statistics( mean,sd,variance) vary
    from one set to another that can be classified
    into random variables andσ
    x
    corresponding
    distribution is obtained which we call then as
    sampling distribution.
    note: Similar to the previous probability
    distribution we learned, sampling distibutions
    have a mean, standard deviation and
    variance.The standard deviation of the samples
    is usually called the standard error.
    Sampling Distribution of the
    Sample Means
    Mean, µx = population mean, µ
    while the standard error of the sample means is
    σx = σ where σ is the standard deviation

    √n n is the sample size


    and the variance is the square of the standard error
    Example.Random sample with size 4 are drawn from
    the population containing the values 14, 19,26,31,48
    and 53. Find the a) mean and
    b) standard error
    c) variance
    Solution:
    a) µx = 14 + 19 + 26 + 31 + 48 + 53 = 191 = 31.83
    6 6

    b) To get the standard error, we need to compute first


    the standard deviation, σ
    σ = (14 - 31.83)2 + (19-31.83)2 + (26-31.83)2+ (31-31.83)2 +
    (48-31.83)2 + (53 - 31.83)2
    5

    = 867.53

    = 29.45
    Therefore, the standard error
    σx = σ = 29.45 = 14.725 = 14.73
    √4 2
    c) variance = (14.73)2 = 216.97
    note : Standard deviation is the square root of the
    variance therefore, the variance is the square of
    standard error.

    Example 2. Compute for the a) mean ,


    b) standard error and c) variance
    of samples with size,n = 3 drawn from a population
    containing the values 5, 6, 8,12, and 20.
    Solution:
    a) mean, µx = 5 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 20 = 51 = 10.2
    5 5
    b)First,we solve for the standard deviation, σ
    σ = (5-10.2)2 + (6-10.2)2 + (8-10.2)2 + (12-10.2)2 + (20-10.2)2
    4

    = 148.8 = 37.2 = 6.099 = 6.10


    4
    Hence, the standard error is
    σx = 6.10 = 6.10 = 3.53
    √3 1.73

    c) σx2 = (3.53)2 =12.46


    Example 3. A school has 900 SHS students . Their
    average (mean) height is 68 inches with a standard
    deviation of 6 inches. Suppose you draw a random
    sample of 50 students ,
    find the a) mean , b) standard error ,
    c) variance
    Solution:
    Given : population mean,µ = 68 inches
    standard deviation,σ = 6 inches
    n = 50 students
    therefore,
    a) µx = 68 inches

    b) σx = 6 = 6 = 0.8485 = 0.85
    50 7.071

    c) σx2 = (.85)2 = 0.7225

    Example 3.
    The average weight of 50 grade VI pupils is 52 kg with
    a standard deviation of 2.5 kg. If 25 pupils are
    randomly picked, find the mean , standard error and
    the variance of the sample means.
    Solution:
    Given: µ = 52 kg
    σ = 2.5 kg
    n = 25

    a) µx = 52 kg

    b) σx = 2.5 = 2.5 = 0.5 kg


    √25 5

    c)σx2 = (0.5)2 = 0.25 kg
