Activity 1: Sampling
Distribution
A population consist of the numbers 2, 4, 9, 10, and
5. Let us list all possible samples size of 3 from this
population and compute the mean of each sample.
Sample Mean
2, 4, 9 5.00
2, 4, 10 5.33
2, 4, 5 3.67
2, 9, 10 7.00
2, 9, 5 5.33
2, 10, 5 5.67
4, 9, 10 7.67
4, 9, 5 6.00
4, 10, 5 6.33
9, 10, 5 8.00
There are 10 possible samples of size 3 that can be drawn
from the given population.
Sampling Distribution of
the sample mean
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.
Sample Mean Frequency
3.67 1
5.00 1
5.33 2
5.67 1
6.00 1
6.33 1
7.00 1
7.67 1
8.00 1
Total n = 10
Probability
Sample Mean Frequency
P()
3.67 1 = 0.10
5.00 1 = 0.10
5.33 2 = 0.20
5.67 1 = 0.10
6.00 1 = 0.10
6.33 1 = 0.10
7.00 1 = 0.10
7.67 1 = 0.10
8.00 1 = 0.10
Total n = 10 1.00
Observe that the means of the samples are
less than or greater than the mean of the
population. The difference between the sample
mean and the population mean is called the
sampling error. It is the error due to sampling.
Activity 2: Drawing Cards
Samples of three cards are drawn at random from a
population of eight card numbered from 1 to 8.
