1 Chapter 6 Sampling Distributions 6.1 Random Sampling Def 1 A population consists of the totality of the observations with which we are concerned. Remark 1. The size of a populations may be finite or infinite. For example, Finite population the blood types for students in a scholl. Infinite population the observations of atmospheric pressure every day from past to future.. The observations from a population have a common distribution. We will use X i to denote the value of the ith observation. Def A sample is a subset of population. Def 3 A random sample of size n is a collection of n indenpendent random variables with a common distribtion. Remark The probability distribtion of a random) sample, say, x 1, x,..., x n, of size n is described as the following jpdf fx 1, x,..., x n ) = fx 1 )fx ) fx n ) 6. Some Important Statistics Def 4 Any function T X 1, X,..., X n ) of the observations X 1, X,..., X n, is called a statistic. Central Tendency in a sample Let X 1, X,..., X n represent a random sample of size n. 1
2 1. sample mean X = 1 X i n. sample median Y n+1)/ if n is odd X = Y n/ + Y n/)+1 if n is even where Y i s denote the order statistics corresponding to X 1,..., X n. 3. mode the value in the sample that occurs most often or with the greatest frequency. The mode may not exist, and when it does it is not necessary unique. Example 1 The lengths of time, in minutes, that 10 patients waited in a doctor s office before receiving treatment were recorded as follows: Find 1. the mean;. the median; 3. the mode. 5, 11, 9, 5, 10, 15, 6, 10, 5, 10. sol) 1. x = ) = 8.6 mimutes; 10. x = 9.5 minutes; 3.

The range of a sample is defined to be X n) X 1).. sample variance S = = = 1 n 1 1 n 1 1 n 1 X i X) n X i 1 n { n } Xi nx ) X i 3. sample deviation S. Example The IQ s of a random sample of five members of a sorority are 108, 11, 17, 118, and 113. Find 1. the range;. the sample variance; 3. the sample deviation. sol) 1.

4 6.3 Sampling Distributions Sampling Distributions of Means 1. E[X] = µ, V ar[x] = σ /n.. From central limit theorem, Z = lim n X µ σ/ n N0, 1) 3. Suppose there are two populations with means and variances being µ 1, σ 1) and µ, σ ), respectively. If two random sample of size n 1 and n are drawn at random from two populations. Then As n 1 and n, E[X 1 ± X ] = µ 1 ± µ V ar[x 1 ± X ] = σ 1 n 1 + σ n Z = X 1 ± X ) µ 1 ± µ ) N0, 1) σ1 n 1 + σ n 4. The above fact trivially holds if both populations are normally distributed. Example 3 If all possible sample size of 16 are drawn from a normal population with mean equal to 50 and standard deviation equal to 5, what is the probability that a sample mean X will fall in the interval from µ X 1.9σ X to µ X 0.4σ X? sol) We want to find P µ X 1.9σ X < X < µ X 0.4σ X ). Clearly, X N50, 5 /16) N50, 1.565). P µ X 1.9σ X < X < µ X 0.4σ X ) = P X < µ X 0.4σ X ) P X < µ X 1.9σ X ) = Φ 0.4) Φ 1.9) = =

Hence, P 4.1 < X < 4.4) = P X < 4.4) P X 4.1) ) ) = Φ Φ /9 /9 = Φ1.8) Φ0.45) = = Example 5 A random sample of size 5 is taken from a normal population having a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 5. A second random sample of size 36 is taken from a different normal population having a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 3. Find the probability that the sample mean computed from the 5 measurements will exceed the sample mean computed from the 36 measurements by at least 3.4 but less than 5.9. n 1 = 5, µ 1 = 80, σ 1 = 5. n = 36, µ = 75, σ = 3. We want to find P 3.4 X 1 X < 5.9). Clearly, X 1 N80, 5 /5), X 75, 3 /36) = X 1 X ) N5, 5/4). 5

Example 6 Given a sample of size 16 from a normal population N50, 10 ), 1. find b such that P X 50 b) ;. find c such that P X 50 c) ; n ) 3. find d such that P X i 50) d. sol) 1..

Example 7 A manufacturer of car batteries guarantees that his batteries will last, on the average, µ = 3 years with a standard deviation of σ = 1 year.

Then X Nµ, σ /n) or, eqivalently, Z = X µ σ/ n N0, 1) In most cases, the value of σ is not available. Thus, we will use S to estimate σ. The t-distribution deals with the distribution about the statistic T defined by T = X µ S/ n Def 6 Let Z N0, 1) and W χ ν be two independent random variables. The random variable T = Z W/ν is said to possess a t-distribution with ν degrees of freedom and is denoted by T t v. 10

Let X 1,..., X n be a random sample from a normal population Nµ, σ ). Then X and S are independent. Z = X µ σ/ n Hence, 5. The value of t α,ν, defined by N0, 1), W = n 1)S σ T = can be found from the probability table. 6. t 1 α,ν = t α,ν. χ n 1.

Let X 1,..., X m be a sample of size m arising from a normal population Nµ 1, σ 1), and let Y 1,..., Y n be a sample of size n arising from a normal population Nµ, σ ). Suppose that the two population are independent. Then pf) Let F = S 1/σ 1 S /σ F m 1,n 1 W 1 = m 1)S 1 ; σ1 W = n 1)S. σ Clearly, W 1 χ m 1 and W χ n 1.

The F critical value can be found from the probability table. Example 9 f 0.95,11,8 =? sol) From the probability table, f 0.05,8,11 =.95. Hence, f 0.95,11,8 = 1 = 1 f 0.05,8,11.95 = 0.34 Example 10 Two samples of size 5 are taken from sample two independent normal populations. Assume that the two populations have the same variance. 1.
