Sampling Distributions and Estimators Section 5-4 Sampling Distributions and Estimators

EXAMPLE Because of rude sales personnel, a poor business plan, ineffective advertising, and a poor name, Polly Esther’s Fashions was in business only three days. On the first day 1 dress was sold, 2 were sold on the second day, and only 5 were sold on the third day. Because 1, 2, and 5 are the entire population, the mean is μ = 2.7 and the standard deviation is σ = 1.7. Let’s consider samples of size 2. There are only 9 different possible samples of size 2, assuming we sample with replacement.

WHY SAMPLE WITH REPLACEMENT? When selecting a relatively small sample from a large population, it makes no significant difference whether we sample with replacement or without replacement. Sampling with replacement results in independent events that are unaffected by previous outcomes, and independent events are easier to analyze and they result in simpler formulas.

SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEAN The sampling distribution of the mean is the probability distribution of the sample means, with all samples having the same size n. In general the sampling distribution of any statistic is the probability distribution of that statistic.

SAMPLING VARIABILITY The value of a statistic, such as the sample mean , depends on the particular values included in the sample, and it generally varies from sample to sample. This variability of a statistic is called sampling variability.

SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROPORTION The sampling distribution of the proportion is the probability distribution of sample proportions, with all samples having the same sample size n.

The next slide shows the sampling distributions of several statistics for our example as well as the sampling distribution of the proportion of odd numbers for our example.

BIASED AND UNBIASED ESTIMATORS You will notice from Table 5-2 that some sample statistics (the mean, variation, and proportion) “target” the population parameters. These sample statistics are called unbiased estimators. Other sample statistics (the median, range, and standard deviation) either overestimate or underestimate the population parameter. These sample statistics are called biased estimators.

A COMMENT ON THE STANDARD DEVIATION Even though the standard deviation is biased, the bias is relative small in large sample. As a result s is often used to estimate σ.

PROPERTIES OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF SAMPLE PROPORTIONS Sample proportions tend to target the value of the population proportion. Under certain conditions page 280, the distribution of sample proportions approximates a normal distribution.
