8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean Introduction (1 of 2)

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean Introduction (2 of 2)

The sampling distribution of a statistic is a probability distribution for all possible values of the statistic computed from a sample of size n.

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean Illustrating Sampling Distributions (1 of 3)

Step 1: Obtain a simple random sample of size n.

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean Illustrating Sampling Distributions (2 of 3)

Step 2: Compute the sample mean.

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean Illustrating Sampling Distributions (3 of 3)

Step 3: Assuming that we are sampling from a finite population, repeat Steps 1 and 2 until all distinct simple random samples of size n have been obtained.

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.1 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Normal Population (1 of 14)

Parallel Example 1: Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean-Normal Population The weights of pennies minted after 1982 are approximately normally distributed with mean 2.46 grams and standard deviation 0.02 grams.

Approximate the sampling distribution of the sample mean by obtaining 200 simple random samples of size n = 5 from this population.

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.1 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Normal Population (2 of 14)

The data on the following slide represent the sample means for the 200 simple random samples of size n = 5. For example, the first sample of n = 5 had the following data:

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.1 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Normal Population (5 of 14)

The mean of the 200 sample means is 2.46, the same as the mean of the population.

The standard deviation of the sample means is 0.0086, which is smaller than the standard deviation of the population.

The next slide shows the histogram of the sample means.

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.1 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Normal Population (7 of 14)

What role does n, the sample size, play in the standard deviation of the distribution of the sample mean?

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.1 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Normal Population (8 of 14)

As the size of the sample increases, the standard deviation of the distribution of the sample mean decreases.

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.1 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Normal Population (9 of 14)

Parallel Example 2: The Impact of Sample Size on Sampling Variability Approximate the sampling distribution of the sample mean by obtaining 200 simple random samples of size n = 20 from the population of weights of pennies minted after 1982 (μ = 2.46 grams and σ = 0.02 grams)

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.1 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Normal Population (10 of 14)

The mean of the 200 sample means for n = 20 is still 2.46, but the standard deviation is now 0.0045 (0.0086 for n = 5). As expected, there is less variability in the distribution of the sample mean with n = 20 than with n = 5.

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.1 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Normal Population (11 of 14)

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.2 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Nonnormal Population (6 of 9)

• The shape of the distribution of the sample mean becomes approximately normal as the sample size n increases, regardless of the shape of the underlying population.

8.1 Distribution of the Sample Mean 8.1.2 Describe the Distribution of the Sample Mean: Nonnormal Population (7 of 9)

the probability the mean oil change time is less than 11 minutes?

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion Learning Objectives

1. Describe the sampling distribution of a sample proportion 2. Compute probabilities of a sample proportion

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (1 of 11)

Point Estimate of a Population Proportion Suppose that a random sample of size n is obtained from a population in which each individual either does or does not have a certain characteristic.

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (2 of 11)

Parallel Example 1: Computing a Sample Proportion In a Quinnipiac University Poll conducted in May of 2008, 1745 registered voters nationwide were asked whether they approved of the way George W. Bush is handling the economy. 349 responded “yes”. Obtain a point estimate for the proportion of registered voters who approve of the way George W. Bush is handling the economy.

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (3 of 11)

Parallel Example 2: Using Simulation to Describe the Distribution of the Sample Proportion According to a Time poll conducted in June of 2008, 42% of registered voters believed that gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to marry.

Describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion for samples of size n = 10, 50, 100. Note: We are using simulations to create the histograms on the following slides.

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (4 of 11)

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (5 of 11)

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (6 of 11)

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (7 of 11)

Key Points from Example 2 • Shape: As the size of the sample, n, increases, the shape of the

sampling distribution of the sample proportion becomes approximately normal.

• Center: The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion equals the population proportion, p.

• Spread: The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion decreases as the sample size, n, increases.

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (8 of 11)

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (9 of 11)

• The model on the previous slide requires that the sampled values are independent. When sampling from finite populations, this assumption is verified by checking that the sample size n is no more than 5% of the population size N (n ≤ 0.05N).

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (10 of 11)

Parallel Example 3: Describing the Sampling Distribution of the Sample Proportion According to a Time poll conducted in June of 2008, 42% of registered voters believed that gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to marry. Suppose that we obtain a simple random sample of 50 voters and determine which voters believe that gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to marry. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion for registered voters who believe that gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to marry.

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.1 Describe the Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion (11 of 11)

Solution The sample of n = 50 is smaller than 5% of the population size (all registered voters in the U.S.). Also, np(1 − p) = 50(0.42)(0.58) = 12.18 ≥ 10. The sampling distribution of the sample proportion is therefore approximately normal with mean = 0.42 and

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.2 Compute Probabilities of a Sample Proportion (1 of 3)

Parallel Example 4: Compute Probabilities of a Sample Proportion According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 18.8% of school-aged children, aged 6−11 years, were overweight in 2004. a) In a random sample of 90 school-aged children, aged 6−11

years, what is the probability that at least 19% are overweight? b) Suppose a random sample of 90 school-aged children, aged

6−11 years, results in 24 overweight children. What might you conclude?

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.2 Compute Probabilities of a Sample Proportion (2 of 3)

Solution • n = 90 is less than 5% of the population size

• np(1 − p) = 90(.188)(1 − .188) ≈ 13.7 ≥ 10

8.2 Distribution of the Sample Proportion 8.2.2 Compute Probabilities of a Sample Proportion (3 of 3)

We would only expect to see about 3 samples in 100 resulting in a sample proportion of 0.2667 or more. This is an unusual sample if the true population proportion is 0.188.
