Sampling Distribution

Inferential Statistics
: It uses a random sample to draw conclusions about the population
: Generalize data from the samples

Population
: Includes all members of a defined group that are subject for study

Sample:
Set of data collected and/or selected from a population by a
defined procedure

Parameter
: Value that describe a characteristic of an entire population such
as population mean
: µ mean and standard deviation ∂ are two common parameters

Statistic
: Characteristic of a sample
:Inferential statistics allow you to use sample statistics to make
conclusions about a population
Sampling Distribution
: Probability distribution of a statistic (mean)

To find the mean µx of the sampling distributions of the mean :


- -
µx = ∑x / n

-
x = ∑x / n

Alternative formula
- -
µx = ∑x . (Px)

Variance of Sampling Distribution


: Equal to population variance divided by the size

Mean :
µ = ∑x / n

Variance
∂^2 = ∑(x-µ)^2 / N

Standard Deviation
√ ∂^2
