Statistics and Probability Lecture 8

This document discusses sampling distributions and how to calculate the mean of a sampling distribution. It provides formulas to find the mean (μx) of a sampling distribution, which is equal to the population mean (μ) when samples are drawn with replacement. An example calculates the means of different samples from a population and finds that the mean of the sampling distribution equals the population mean.

STATISTICS AND

PROBABILITY
Sampling Distribution
 The Probability distribution that describes
the probability for each mean of all the
samples with the same sample size n is
called sampling Distribution.
FORMULA
 Tofind the mean 𝜇𝑥 of the sampling
distribution of means use the following
formula:

σ𝑥
 𝜇𝑥 =
𝑛
 Where x = sample mean
 n= total number of observation
 Alternative formula for 𝜇𝑥
 𝜇𝑥 = σ 𝑥(𝑃𝑥)
Example

 Consider the population consisting of the values 2,3 and 5.


List all the possible sample of size 2 that can be drawn
from the population with replacement. Then Compute the
mean for each sample. Lastly, find the mean of the
sampling distribution of means and the man of the
population.
Means of samples drawn with replacement from
the population = (2,3 and 5)
Observation Sample x
Sampling Distribution of x with
replacement n=2
x Probability P(x)
Example 2

 Consider the population consisting of the values 1,3,8


 A. List all the possible sample size 2 with replacement
 B. Compute the mean of each sample
 C. Identify the probability of each sample
 D. Compute the mean of the sampling distribution of
the means.
 E. Compute the population mean
 F. Compare the population mean with the mean of the
sampling distribution of means.
