5 Basics How large is large enough? The sample size is considered large enough if the expected number of successes and failures are both at least 10. np 15 and n(1 p) 15 Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26
6 Basics An analysis of Facebook users A recent study found that Facebook users get more than they give. For example: 40% of Facebook users in our sample made a friend request, but 63% received at least one request Users in our sample pressed the like button next to friends content an average of 14 times, but had their content liked an average of 20 times Users sent 9 personal messages, but received 12 12% of users tagged a friend in a photo, but 35% were themselves tagged in a photo Any guesses for how this pattern can be explained?

Power users - add much more content than the typical user Reports/ 2012/ Facebook-users/ Summary.aspx Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26
8 Basics Facebook cont. This study found that approximately 25% of Facebook users are considered power users. The same study found that the average Facebook user has 245 friends. What is the probability that the average Facebook user with 245 friends has 70 or more friends who would be considered power users? We are given that n = 245, p = 0.25, and we are asked for the probability P(X 70). Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26

What is the probability that the average Facebook user with 245 friends has 70 or more friends who would be considered power users? We are given that n = 245, p = 0.25, and we are asked for the probability P(X 70). P(X 70) = P(X = 70 or X = 71 or X = 72 or or X = 245) = P(X = 70) + P(X = 71) + P(X = 72) + + P(X = 245) Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26

P(X 70) = P(X = 70 or X = 71 or X = 72 or or X = 245) = P(X = 70) + P(X = 71) + P(X = 72) + + P(X = 245) This seems like an awful lot of work... Statistics 102 (Kenneth K.

11 Basics Normal approximation to the binomial When the sample size is large enough, the binomial distribution with parameters n and p can be approximated by the normal model with parameters µ = np and σ = np(1 p). In the case of the Facebook power users, n = 245 and p = µ = = σ = = 6.78 Bin(n = 245, p = 0.25) N(µ = 61.25, σ = 6.78) Bin(245,0.25) N(61.5,6.78) Statistics 102 (Kenneth K.

18 Improvements Improving the approximation Take for example a Binomial distribution where n = 20 and p = 0.5, we should be able to approximate the distribution of X using N(10, 5) Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26
19 Improvements Improving the approximation Take for example a Binomial distribution where n = 20 and p = 0.5, we should be able to approximate the distribution of X using N(10, 5) It is clear that our approximation is missing about 1/2 of P(X = 7) and P(X = 13), as n this error is very small. In this case P(X = 7) = P(X = 13) = so our approximation is off by 7%. Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26

Such as, what is the chance of 50 Heads in 100 tosses of slightly unfair coin (p = 0.55)?

28 Variability of Estimates 1 Basics Improvements 2 Variability of Estimates Activity Sampling distributions - via simulation Sampling distributions - via CLT Statistics 102
29 Variability of Estimates Parameter estimation We are often interested in population parameters. Since complete populations are difficult (or impossible) to collect data on, we use sample statistics as point estimates for the unknown population parameters of interest. Sample statistics vary from sample to sample. Quantifying how sample statistics vary provides a way to estimate the margin of error associated with our point estimate. But before we get to quantifying the variability among samples, let s try to understand how and why point estimates vary from sample to sample. Suppose we randomly sample 1,000 adults from each state in the US. Would you expect the sample means to be the same, somewhat different, or very different? Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26
30 Variability of Estimates Activity Estimate the avg. # of drinks it takes to get drunk We would like to estimate the average (self reported) number of drinks it takes a person get drunk, we assume that we have the population data: Number of drinks to get drunk Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26
31 Variability of Estimates Activity Estimate the avg. # of drinks it takes to get drunk (cont.) Sample, with replacement, ten respondents and record the number of drinks it takes them to get drunk. Use RStudio to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 146 sample(1:146, size = 10, replace = FALSE) If you don t have a computer, ask a neighbor to generate a sample for you. Find the sample mean, round it to 1 decimal place, and record it. Time permitting, obtain another sample. If we randomly select observations from this data set, which values are most likely to be selected, which are least likely? Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26

Based on this distribution what do you think is the true population average? Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26

Is the variability of the sampling distribution smaller or larger than the variability of the population distribution? Why? sample means from samples of n = 10 Statistics 102 (Kenneth K.

39 Variability of Estimates Sampling distributions - via simulation Average number of Duke games attended (cont.) Frequency Sampling distribution, n = 10: What does each observation in this distribution represent? Sample mean, x, of samples of size n = 10. Is the variability of the sampling distribution smaller or larger than the variability of the population distribution? Why? Smaller, sample means will vary less than individual observations sample means from samples of n = 10 Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26

Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26
41 Variability of Estimates Sampling distributions - via simulation Average number of Duke games attended (cont.) Sampling distribution, n = 30: Frequency How did the shape, center, and spread of the sampling distribution change going from n = 10 to n = 30? Shape is more symmetric, center is about the same, spread is smaller sample means from samples of n = 30 Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26
42 Variability of Estimates Sampling distributions - via simulation Average number of Duke games attended (cont.) Sampling distribution, n = 70: Frequency sample means from samples of n = 70 Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26
43 Variability of Estimates Sampling distributions - via CLT Central Limit Theorem Central limit theorem The distribution of the sample mean is well approximated by a normal model: x N (mean = µ, SE = n σ ) If σ is unknown, use s. So it wasn t a coincidence that the sampling distributions we saw earlier were symmetric. We won t go into the proving why SE = σ n, but note that as n increases SE decreases. As the sample size increases we would expect samples to yield more consistent sample means, hence the variability among the sample means would be lower. Statistics 102 (Kenneth K. Lopiano) Lec 8 September 18, / 26
44 Variability of Estimates Sampling distributions - via CLT CLT - Conditions Certain conditions must be met for the CLT to apply: 1 Independence: Sampled observations must be independent. This is difficult to verify, but is more likely if random sampling/assignment is used, and n < 10% of the population. 2 Sample size/skew: the population distribution must be nearly normal or n > 30 and the population distribution is not extremely skewed. This is also difficult to verify for the population, but we can check it using the sample data, and assume that the sample mirrors the population. Statistics 102 (Kenneth K.
