    Chapter 8 Sampling Distributions

    The document discusses sampling distributions and their characteristics. It explains that the sample mean or proportion can be considered a random variable. The sampling distribution of the mean is the probability distribution of all possible sample means of a given size. When the population is normally distributed, the sampling distribution of the mean will also be normally distributed. The central limit theorem states that the sampling distribution of the mean will be approximately normally distributed for large sample sizes, even if the population is not normally distributed. The document also discusses the sampling distribution of proportions and provides examples of calculating z-scores and standard errors for sampling distributions.

    CHAPTER 8:

    Sampling Distributions
    Business Mathematics 41
    Presented by: John Melvin V. Baranda
    Learning
    Objectives
    Understand that the sample mean or the sample proportion can be considered a random
    variable.

    Understand and determine the sampling distribution of means for samples from a given
    population.
    Understand and determine the sampling distribution of proportions for samples from a
    given population.

    Explain the central limit theorem and its relevance to the shape of the sampling distribution
    of a mean or proportion.

    Determine the effect on the sampling distribution when the samples are relatively large
    compared to the population from which they are drawn.
    Sampling Distribution of the Mean

    The resulting collection of sample means could then be viewed as a new random
    variable with its own mean and standard deviation.
    The probability distribution of these sample means is called the distribution of sample
    means, or the sampling distribution of the mean
    The sampling distribution of the mean is defined as the probability distribution of the
    sample means for all possible samples of that particular size.

    THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE
    MEAN:
    When the Population Is Normally Distributed
    When a great many simple random samples of size n are drawn from a population
    that is normally distributed, the sample means will also be normally distributed.
    Sampling
    Example 1 We Distribution
    reported that the average annual number of hours flown by
    general-aviation aircraft was 120 hours. For purposes of our discussion here,
    we will continue to assume that the flying hours for these aircraft are normally
    distributed with a standard deviation of 30 hours.
    Sampling
    Example 2   Distribution
    z-score for the sampling distribution of
    the mean
    Just as we can use the z-score to convert a normal distribution to a standard
    normal distribution, we can also convert a normally distributed sampling
    distribution of means to a standard normal distribution. The z-score formula for
    doing so is very similar to the one introduced in the previous chapter:
    Example 3

    Example 5 in a large manufacturing plant worked an average of 62.0 hours
    of overtime last year, with a standard deviation of 15.0 hours. For a simple
    random sample of n = 36 employees and x = the number of overtime hours
    worked last year, determine the z-score corresponding to each of the
    following sample means:
    a) x = 55.0 hours
    b) x = 65.0 hours
    c) x = 60.0 hours
    d) x = 47.0 hours

    Example 7 Proportion
    It has been reported that 40% of U.S. workers employed as purchasing managers are females. In a
    simple random sample of U.S. purchasing managers, 70 out of the 200 are females. Given this
    information:
    a) What is the population proportion?
    b) What is the sample proportion?
    c) What is the standard error of the sample proportion?
