4 7: Sample Variability 7. The Sampling Distribution of Sample Means Sample distribution of sample means (SDSM): If random samples of size n, are taken from ANY population with mean μ and standard deviation σ, then the SDSM: 1. A mean equal to μ. A standard deviation equal to n Central Limit Theorem (CLT): The sampling distribution of sample means will more closely resemble the normal distribution as the sample size n increases. 5

27 Chapter 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference Daniel B. Rowe, Ph.D. Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science 36
28 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8.1 The Nature of Estimation The purpose of Statistical Inference is to use the info in a sample of data to increase knowledge of a population. Figure from Johnson & Kuby,
29 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8.1 The Nature of Estimation We discussed how if we compute a quantity from a population of data then it is called a parameter and if we estimate it from a sample of data then it is called a statistic. Recall: Chapter 1 definitions. Parameter: A numerical value summarizing all the data of an entire population. Statistic: A numerical value summarizing the sample data. 38
30 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8.1 The Nature of Estimation More precisely, a single number to estimate a parameter is called a point estimate. Point estimate for a parameter: A single number designed to estimate a quantitative parameter of a population, usually the value of the corresponding sample statistic. i.e. is a point estimate for μ 39
31 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8.1 The Nature of Estimation Interval estimate: An interval bounded by two values and used to estimate the value of a population parameter. The values that bound this interval are statistics calculated from the sample that is being used as the basis for estimation. i.e. ( some amount) is an interval estimate for μ. The interval estimate will be of the form point estimate some amount 40
32 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8.1 The Nature of Estimation Interval Estimate for μ. Significance Level: Pre assigned probability of a parameter being outside our interval estimate, α. P( not in some amount) = i.e P( some amount < < some amount) = 41
33 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8.1 The Nature of Estimation Take many samples and for each calculate interval estimate then. Level of Confidence 1-α: The proportion of all interval estimates that include the parameter being estimated. i.e μ P( in some amount) =1- P( some amount < < some amount) = 1 4
34 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8.1 The Nature of Estimation Confidence Interval: An interval estimate with a specified level of confidence. A range of values for the parameter with a level of confidence attached. (i.e. 95% confident) point estimator some amount(1- ) some amount that depends on The general form for a confidence interval is point estimate margin of error confidence level 1-43
35 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8. Estimation of Mean μ (σ Known) The assumption for estimating mean μ using a known σ: The sampling distribution of has a normal distribution. Recall from Chapter 6 that for the standard normal distribution, P( 1.96 z 1.96)= 0.95 From the CLT in Chapter 7, we know that when n is large, the sample mean is approimately normally distributed with, n 44
36 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8. Estimation of Mean μ (σ Known) What this implies is that has an approimate standard normal distribution! z P( 1.96 z 1.96)= 0.95 Or more generally, 1.95 P( z( / ) z z( / ) )= 1. z( / ) called the confidence coefficient. -z( / ) z( / )
37 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8. Estimation of Mean μ (σ Known) P( z( / ) z z( / ) )= 1 With some algebra, we can see that. (fill in) 46
38 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8. Estimation of Mean μ (σ Known) Thus, a (1-α) 100% confidence interval for μ is σ σ - z( / ) + z( / ) n n which if α=0.05, a 95% confidence interval for μ is σ σ n n Confidence Interval for Mean: σ z( / ) σ to z( / ) (8.1) n n 49
39 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8. Estimation of Mean μ (σ Known) THE CONFIDENCE INTERVAL: A FIVE STEP PROCESS Step 1 The Set-UP: Step Confidence Interval Criteria: Step 3 The Sample Evidence: Step 4 The Confidence Interval: Step 5 The Results: Your Book describes as a 5 step process. Read this. Important. 50
40 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8. Estimation of Mean μ (σ Known) Philosophically, μ is fied and the interval varies. If we take a sample of data,,..., 1 n and determine a confidence interval from it, we get. ± z( / ) σ n μ each sample a different interval of same width If we had a different sample of data, y,..., 1 yn we would have determined a different confidence interval. y ± z( / ) σ n Figure from Johnson & Kuby,
41 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8. Estimation of Mean μ (σ Known) We never truly know if our CI from our sample of data will contain the true population mean μ. But we do know that there is a (1-α) 100% chance that a confidence interval from a sample of data will contain μ. 5
42 8: Introduction to Statistical Inference 8. Estimation of Mean μ (σ Known) Eample: Make normal μ=100,σ=57.7 random values True Random s Sample mean and variance from the 5 million values Here is a histogram of the 5 million values. 53
