8-2 Statistics such as are random variables since their value varies from sample to sample. As such, they have probability distributions associated with them. In this chapter we focus on the shape, center and spread of statistics such as.

8-3 The sampling distribution of a statistic is a probability distribution for all possible values of the statistic computed from a sample of size n. The sampling distribution of the sample mean is the probability distribution of all possible values of the random variable computed from a sample of size n from a population with mean  and standard deviation .

8-4 The weights of pennies minted after 1982 are approximately normally distributed with mean 2.46 grams and standard deviation 0.02 grams. Approximate the sampling distribution of the sample mean by obtaining 200 simple random samples of size n = 5 from this population. Parallel Example 1: Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean-Normal Population

8-5 The data on the following slide represent the sample means for the 200 simple random samples of size n = 5. For example, the first sample of n = 5 had the following data: Note: =2.479 for this sample

8-6 Sample Means for Samples of Size n =5

8-7 The mean of the 200 sample means is 2.46, the same as the mean of the population. The standard deviation of the sample means is , which is smaller than the standard deviation of the population. The next slide shows the histogram of the sample means.

8-8

8-9 What role does n, the sample size, play in the standard deviation of the distribution of the sample mean?

8-10 What role does n, the sample size, play in the standard deviation of the distribution of the sample mean? As the size of the sample gets larger, we do not expect as much spread in the sample means since larger observations will offset smaller observations. What role does n, the sample size, play in the standard deviation of the distribution of the sample mean?

8-11 Approximate the sampling distribution of the sample mean by obtaining 200 simple random samples of size n = 20 from the population of weights of pennies minted after 1982 (  =2.46 grams and  =0.02 grams) Parallel Example 2: The Impact of Sample Size on Sampling Variability

8-12 The mean of the 200 sample means for n =20 is still 2.46, but the standard deviation is now ( for n = 5). As expected, there is less variability in the distribution of the sample mean with n =20 than with n =5.

8-13 Suppose that a simple random sample of size n is drawn from a large population with mean  and standard deviation . The sampling distribution of will have mean and standard deviation. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of is called the standard error of the mean and is denoted. The Mean and Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution of

8-14 The Shape of the Sampling Distribution of If X is Normal If a random variable X is normally distributed, the distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed.

8-15 The weights of pennies minted after 1982 are approximately normally distributed with mean 2.46 grams and standard deviation 0.02 grams. What is the probability that in a simple random sample of 10 pennies minted after 1982, we obtain a sample mean of at least grams? Parallel Example 3: Describing the Distribution of the Sample Mean

8-19 Estimate the sampling distribution of by obtaining 200 simple random samples of size n=4 and calculating the sample mean for each of the 200 samples. Repeat for n = 10 and 30. Histograms of the sampling distribution of the sample mean for each sample size are given on the next slide.

8-23 Key Points from Example 4 The mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the mean of the parent population and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is regardless of the sample size. The Central Limit Theorem: the shape of the distribution of the sample mean becomes approximately normal as the sample size n increases, regardless of the shape of the population.

8-24 Parallel Example 5: Using the Central Limit Theorem Suppose that the mean time for an oil change at a “10-minute oil change joint” is 11.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.2 minutes. (a)If a random sample of n = 35 oil changes is selected, describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean. (b) If a random sample of n = 35 oil changes is selected, what is the probability the mean oil change time is less than 11 minutes?

(a)If a random sample of n = 35 oil changes is selected, describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean. (b) If a random sample of n = 35 oil changes is selected, what is the probability the mean oil change time is less than 11 minutes? Solution: is approximately normally distributed with mean=11.4 and std. dev. =. Solution:, P(Z<-0.74)=0.23.

(a)If a random sample of n = 35 oil changes is selected, describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean. (b) If a random sample of n = 35 oil changes is selected, what is the probability the mean oil change time is less than 11 minutes?

8-26 Point Estimate of a Population Proportion Suppose that a random sample of size n is obtained from a population in which each individual either does or does not have a certain characteristic. The sample proportion, denoted (read “p-hat”) is given by where x is the number of individuals in the sample with the specified characteristic. The sample proportion is a statistic that estimates the population proportion, p.

Bush is handling the economy. 349 responded “yes”. Obtain a point estimate for the proportion of registered voters who approve of the way George W. Bush is handling the economy.

8-29 According to a Time poll conducted in June of 2008, 42% of registered voters believed that gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to marry. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion for samples of size n=10, 50, 100. Parallel Example 2: Using Simulation to Describe the Distribution of the Sample Proportion

8-33 Key Points from Example 2 Shape: As the size of the sample, n, increases, the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion becomes approximately normal. Center: The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion equals the population proportion, p. Spread: The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion decreases as the sample size, n, increases.

8-34 For a simple random sample of size n with population proportion p: The shape of the sampling distribution of is approximately normal provided np(1-p)≥10. The mean of the sampling distribution of is. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of is Sampling Distribution of

8-35 Sampling Distribution of The model on the previous slide requires that the sampled values are independent. When sampling from finite populations, this assumption is verified by checking that the sample size n is no more than 5% of the population size N (n ≤ 0.05N). Regardless of whether np(1-p) ≥10 or not, the mean of the sampling distribution of is p, and the standard deviation is

8-36 According to a Time poll conducted in June of 2008, 42% of registered voters believed that gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to marry. Suppose that we obtain a simple random sample of 50 voters and determine which believe that gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to marry. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion for registered voters who believe that gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to marry. Parallel Example 3: Describing the Sampling Distribution of the Sample Proportion

8-37 Solution The sample of n=50 is smaller than 5% of the population size (all registered voters in the U.S.). Also, np(1-p)=50(0.42)(0.58)=12.18≥10. The sampling distribution of the sample proportion is therefore approximately normal with mean=0.42 and standard deviation=. (Note: this is very close to the standard deviation of found using simulation in Example 2.)
