3 Recap Chapter

4 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means When we take a random sample 1,, n from a population, one of the things that we do is compute the sample mean. The value of is not μ. Each time we take a random sample of size n, we get a different set of values 1,, n and a different value for. There is a distribution of possible s. 4

5 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means Sampling Distribution of a sample statistic: The distribution of values for a sample statistic obtained from repeated samples, all of the same size and all drawn from the same population. If we take a random sample of size n and compute sample mean,. The collection of all possible means is called the sampling distribution of the sample mean (SDSM). 5

21 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means We have a couple of definitions. Standard error of the mean ( ): The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means. Central Limit Theorem (CLT): The sampling distribution of sample means will more closely resemble the normal distribution as the sample size increases. The CLT is etremely important in Statistics. 1

22 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means The Central Limit Theorem: Assume that we have a population (arbitrary distribution) with mean μ and standard deviation σ. If we take random samples of size n (with replacement), then for large n, the distribution of the sample means, the s, is approimately normally distributed with, n where in general n 3 is sufficiently large, but can be as small as15 or as big as 5 depending upon the shape of distribution!
