Grade 11 Performance Task Sampling Distribution

This performance task paper demonstrates the use of sampling and the sampling distribution of the sample mean in estimating the average hours of sleep for Grade 11 students. Using simple random sampling, three samples were taken, resulting in means of 7.0, 7.1, and 6.9 hours of sleep. The conclusion drawn is that the estimated average sleep for the population is approximately 7 hours per night.

SAMPLE PERFORMANCE TASK (PT) PAPER

Sampling and Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean

Grade Level: 11
Subject: Statistics and Probability
Student Name: Juan Dela Cruz
Section: STEM 11-A

I. Introduction
In many real-life situations, it is difficult to gather data from an entire population. Sampling allows us
to select a smaller group that represents the population. This performance task demonstrates how
sampling and the sampling distribution of the sample mean can be used to make conclusions in a
real-life context.

II. Chosen Discipline and Scenario


Discipline: Health
Scenario: A health teacher wants to estimate the average number of hours of sleep of Grade 11
students in a school. Since surveying all students is not practical, samples are taken.

III. Population and Sampling Method


Population: All Grade 11 students in the school.
Sampling Method: Simple Random Sampling
Justification: Simple random sampling gives every student an equal chance of being selected,
reducing bias and making the sample representative of the population.

IV. Data Collection


Three samples were taken, each with n = 10 students. The number of hours of sleep per night was
recorded.

Sample 1
Student Hours of Sleep
1 6
2 7
3 8
4 6
5 7
6 8
7 7
8 6
9 7
10 8

Total: 70 hours

Sample 2
Student Hours of Sleep
1 7
2 6
3 7
4 8
5 8
6 7
7 6
8 7
9 8
10 7

Total: 71 hours

Sample 3
Student Hours of Sleep
1 6
2 7
3 6
4 7
5 8
6 7
7 6
8 7
9 7
10 8

Total: 69 hours

V. Computation of Sample Means


Sample 1 Mean = 70 ÷ 10 = 7.0
Sample 2 Mean = 71 ÷ 10 = 7.1
Sample 3 Mean = 69 ÷ 10 = 6.9

VI. Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean


The sample means 7.0, 7.1, and 6.9 form the sampling distribution of the sample mean. These
values are close to each other, indicating that the sample mean is a reliable estimate of the
population mean.

VII. Conclusion
Based on the sampling distribution, the estimated average number of hours of sleep of Grade 11
students is approximately 7 hours per night. Sampling allows reliable conclusions without studying
the entire population.
