Recap… We need to take spread into account when we give an interval for the population parameter
2
So far… Population Sample Sample statistics Population parameter What we’re trying to estimate
3
Remember our kiwis…
4
So far… Population Sample Sample statistics What is the median weights of kiwis? What we’re trying to estimate Take your sample of kiwis Dot plot Box plot Sample statistics…
5
So far… Population Sample Sample statistics Population parameter What we’re trying to estimate Median weight of kiwis is somewhere between ___ and ___
6
Samples of size ___ were reliable enough
7
The median weight of kiwis was somewhere between ___ and ___ (90% ish of our sample medians) Distribution of sample medians…
8
We don’t get to take multiple samples so this process WON’T work We need to find an informal confidence interval for the population median based ON A SINGLE SAMPLE However in real life …
9
To take into account both Sample size and spread Our informal interval needs…
10
For your sample of kiwis: Dot plot Box plot Median More kiwis…
11
Add your SAMPLE MEDIANS TO THE SHEET Then
12
Add your IQR (box) TO THE SHEET Student worksheet
13
Complete Q3 – Q5 on the worksheet Student worksheet
14
Q3: I notice that the width of the IQR for sample medians when the sample size is 30 is approximately of the width of the population IQR WIDTH 0.507 kg-ish (67 mm) WIDTH 0.095 kg-ish (11 mm) 1/5
15
Q4: I notice that the width of the IQR for sample medians when the sample size is 400 is approximately __________ of the width of the population IQR WIDTH 0.025 kg-ish (3.5 mm) WIDTH 0.507 kg-ish (67 mm) 1/20
16
Q5: Relationship between the width of the IQR for sample medians of sample size n and the population IR and the sample size… IQR for sample medians (sample size = n) is approximately of the population IQR When n = 400 the IQR of the sample medians is approximately ________________ of population IQR When n = 30 the IQR of the sample medians is approximately ________________ of population IQR
