  2. Introduction • How big does be in order for us to conclude that there is a lack of fit? • How big does the difference in mean hand lengths between males and females have to be before we consider there to be a difference not due to chance? • It is as if by magic, rule,…. To look at these questions we examine the concept of sampling distributions

  3. Sampling distributions • When we repeatedly sample from a population it is evident that there is variation in the various statistics that are computed. • This is the nature of sampling (chance) • Repeated samples give rise to a distribution of the statistics calculated for each of the samples ie a Sampling distribution

  4. Sampling distributions These may be determined • Theoretically • Empirically (through simulation)

  5. Sampling Distributions: Formal • The distribution of all possible values that can be assumed by some statistic (eg mean, variance), computed from samples of the same size randomly drawn from the same population, is called a sampling distribution of that statistic.

  6. Distribution of Means • When the mean is calculated for samples of the same size from a population there are some important results.

  7. Central Limit Theorem(Large Sample Normality) • Given a random sample X1, X2, ..Xn from any distribution with mean m and finite variance s2, then irrespective of the distribution of the parent population, the distribution of approaches the shape of a normal distribution when the sample size is large, with a mean and standard deviation irrespective of sample size.

  10. Relative frequency 0.14 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Population Values Activity 1: • How else may we have plotted the population - rather than using frequency? Use relative frequency ie divide frequency by total number

  31. Variance population (X) • Given the population of values (N=7) with values 0,2,4,6,8,10,12, find the variance of the population. E(X)=6 Therefore (E(X))2=36 and to find E(X2) we need 0 2 4 6 8 10 12

  41. Decisions through Data Sampling Distributions Unit 19

  42. Exploring the nature of samplingTable 1 : New Zealand high school rolls (July1994)task follows

  43. Exercise • Take a random sample of ten observations from this table. • Plot them on graph1. • Calculate the mean of your ten observations and mark it on graph 1 • Take three random samples of ten observations. • Calculate the mean of each sample. • Calculate the standard deviation of the population (ie divisor N) • Plot these as a dot boxplots or error bars (mean + 2 std) and identify any gaps, clusters, outliers or unusual features.

  44. Notice in when the data in each of the samples are displayed as error bars that there is variation in each sample. However there is little variation in the means of the samples than within the samples themselves.

  45. Central Limit Theorem(Large Sample Normality) • Given a random sample X1, X2, ..Xn from any distribution with mean m and finite variance s2, then irrespective of the distribution of the parent population, the distribution of approaches the shape of a normal distribution when the sample size is large, with a mean • and standard deviation irrespective of size of sample

  46. When repeatedly sampling from normal populations one will note: • there is variability when we compare samples • the variability between samples is more evident for small samples than for large samples • the main characteristics of the sample summaries eg means remains similar. • outliers, clusters, skewness appear more apparent in small samples and hence larger samples are less likely to mislead • the larger the sample size the more stable the sample summaries tend to be.

  47. Activity 4 - homework The mean and known standard deviation of serum iron values for healthy men are 120 and 15 micrograms per 100ml. What is the mean and standard deviation of the means for samples of size 49?

  48. Activity 4 - homework If the mean and known standard deviation of serum iron values for healthy men are 120 and 15 micrograms per 100ml, respectively what is the probability that a random sample of 49 normal men will yield a mean between 115 and 125 micrograms per 100 ml?

  49. Activity 4 - homework If the mean and known standard deviation of serum iron values for healthy men are 120 and 15 micrograms per 100ml, respectively what is the probability that a random sample of 49 normal men will yield a mean between 115 and 125 micrograms per 100 ml?
