15 7: Sample Variability 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means When we take a random sample 1,, n from a population, one of the things that we do is compute the sample mean. The value of is not μ. Each time we take a random sample of size n, we get a different set of values 1,, n and a different value for. 15

16 7: Sample Variability 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means Recall: When we take a sample of data 1,, n from a population, then compute an estimate of a parameter it is called a sample statistic. i.e. for μ Sampling Distribution of a sample statistic: The distribution of values for a sample statistic obtained from repeated samples, all of the same size and all drawn from the same population. 16

17 7: Sample Variability 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means Let s discuss the relationship between the sample mean and the population mean. Assume that we have a population of items with population mean μ and population standard deviation σ. If we take a random sample of size n and compute sample mean,. The collection of all possible means is called the sampling distribution of the sample mean. 17

29 7: Sample Variability 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means Don t forget that the two values that we draw are random. That is, we may know the sample space of possible outcomes but we do not know eactly which ones we will get! Random Sample: A sample obtained in such a way that each possible sample of fied size n has an equal probability of being selected. 36

The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means if samples increases the empirical dist. turns into theoretical dist. empirical distribution true distribution with population parameters, Figure from Johnson & Kuby, 01. As the number of samples increases the empirical dist. turns into theoretical dist. 37

31 7: Sample Variability 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means Sample distribution of sample means (SDSM): If all possible random samples, each of size n, are taken from any population with mean μ and standard deviation σ, then the sampling distribution of sample means will have the following: 1. A mean equal to μ. A standard deviation equal to n Furthermore, if the sampled population has a normal distribution, then the sampling distribution of will also be normal for all samples of all sizes. Discuss Later: What if the sampled population does not have a normal distribution? 38

33 7: Sample Variability 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means Eample: N=5, values: 0,, 4, 6, 8, n= (with replacement). Instead of drawing two values with replacement and computing the sample mean, we can think of this as drawing one of the sample means with replacement. The probability for each sample mean is 40
