    MEAN & VARIANCE of The Sampling Distribution of Means

    Uploaded by

    Julius Fronda
    The document discusses the sampling distribution of means. It provides an example where samples of size 2 are drawn from a population with a mean of 3 and variance of 2. There are 10 possible samples that could be drawn. The mean of the sampling distribution is calculated to be 3, and the variance is calculated to be 0.75. A histogram is then constructed to display the sampling distribution of the sample means.

    MEAN & VARIANCE

    OF SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION
    OF MEANS
    1. Compute the mean
      of the population,
    •  
    • =
    • = 3.00
      of the population, .
    2. Compute the variance
    x x-
    1 -2 4
    2 -1 1
    3 0 0
    4 1 1
    5 2 4
    = 10

      == = 2 So, the variance of the population is 2.


    3. Determine the number of possible samples
    of size n = 2.
    •  Use the formula:

    • C(N, n) = C( 5, 2) = =10
    • So there are 10 possible samples of size 2 that can be drawn.
    4. List all the possible samples and their corresponding means .
    Samples Means
    1, 2 1.50
    1, 3 2. 00
    1, 4 2.50
    1, 5 3.00
    2, 3 2.50
    2, 4 3.00
    2, 5 3.50
    3, 4 3.50
    3, 5 4.00
    4, 5 4.50
    5. Construct the sampling distribution of the sample means
    • Sampling Distribution of Sample Means
    Sample Means () Frequency f Probability P ()
    1.50 1
    2.00 1
    2.00 1
    2.50 2 =
    3.00
    2.50 22 =
    3.50 2 =
    3.00 2
    4.00 1
    3.50
    4.50 21
    Total
    4.00 10
    1 1.00

    4.50 1

    Total 10 1.00
    6. Compute the mean of the sampling distribution of the
    sample means.  
    Sample Means () Frequency f Probability P () P()
    1.50 1 0.15
    2.00 1 0.20
    2.00 1 0.20
    2.50 2 = 0.50 So, the mean of
    3.00 22 = 0.60 the sampling
    2.50 0.50 distribution of
    3.50 2 = 0.70
    3.00 2 0.60 the sample means
    4.00 1 0.40 is 3.00
    3.50
    4.50 21 0.70
    0.45
    Total
    4.00 10
    1 1.00 3.00
    0.40

    4.50 1 0.45

    Total 10 1.00 3.00


    7. Compute the variance of the sampling distribution of
    the sample means.

    •a.  Subtract the population 1.50


    1.50 -1.50
    -1.50 2.25
    2.25 0.225
    0.225
    from the sample mean 2.00 -1.00 1.00 0.100
    2.00 -1.00 1.00 0.100
    2.50 = - 0.50 0.25 0.050
    b. Square the difference 2.50
    3.00 = - 0.50
    0 0.25
    0.00 0.050
    0.000
    c. Multiply the results by 3.50
    3.00 = 0.50
    0 0.25
    0.00 0.050
    0.000
    the corresponding 4.00 1.00 1.00 0.100
    3.50 0.50 0.25 0.050
    probability. 4.50 1.50 2.25 0.225
    4.00
    Total 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.100
    0.750
    d. Add the results.
    4.50 1.50 2.25 0.225
    So, the variance of the Total 1.00 0.750
    sampling distribution is 0.75
    Step 8. Construct the histogram for the
    sampling distribution of the sample means.
