Find mean and standard deviationusing a sample distribution(not of population) Suppose we make 5 sampling distributions of the sample mean for samples of size: • n = 1 • n = 4 • n = 10 • n = 20 • n = 40
Find mean and standard deviationusing a sample distribution, n=1(from a population) Note: this column is a Sample Distribution using a sample size n=1 (looks just like the Population Frequency Graph) Note: this column is of a Population
Using Population Freq. Table, generate Sampling Distributions of different sample sizes (next slides) n = 4 n = 10 n = 20 n = 40 4 Steps not shown…see Page 428 & 429 in textbook for calculations when n = 4 Note: this graph is of a Population
To clarify Step 1 in textbook, page 428, we can use a random table of digits OR a calculator to assign digits to possible outcomes Using random table of digits: 001- 524 525 - 725 726 - 904 905 - 974 975 – 999, 1000 Or using Calculator: MATH PRB randInt (1, 1000)
Results After repeating Steps 1-4 many times (i.e. Fathom) using different size samples, the results are:
As n increases, what happens to: • Shape • Center • Spread
As n increases, what happens to: • Shape: more normal • Center • Spread
As n increases, what happens to: • Shape: more normal • Center: stays same • Spread
As n increases, what happens to: • Shape: more normal • Center: stays same • Spread: decreases
Common Symbols Note: a calculator cannot tell if a list (L1 or L2) is from a population or sample distribution…you have to know which is which. Page 430

Using These Properties 3. When can we assume the sampling distribution is approximately normal? If we are told the population is approximately normally distributed (or bell-shaped or mound-shaped), you can assume sampling distribution is approximately normal regardless of sample size or _______.
Using These Properties 3. When can we assume the sampling distribution is approximately normal? If we are told the population is approximately normally distributed (or bell-shaped or mound-shaped), you can assume sampling distribution is approximately normal regardless of sample size or if we are told sample size is very large.

Using These Properties 4. Isn’t the size of the population really important? As long as the sample was randomly selected and as long as the population is much larger than the sample, it does not matter how large the population is.
