Quarter 3 – Module 5:
Finding the Mean and the
Variance of the Sampling
Distribution of the Sample Means
 What I Need to Know

After successfully completing this self-learning module, you are

expected to master essential knowledge and skills about finding the mean
and the variance of the sampling distribution of the sample means.
Specifically, you are more likely able to:
1. find the mean and variance of the sampling distribution of the
sample mean (M11/12SP-IIId-5); and
2. define the sampling distribution of the sample mean for normal
population when the variance is: (a) known; (b) unknown
(M11/12SP-IIIe-1).
These most essential learning competencies will be condensed into a
simplified user lesson that will be discussed along the path of your
academic journey with this self-learning module.
Enjoy your steps towards the attainment of our objectives. Are you
ready? If you are, let’s go!

What I Know

After you get acquainted with the objectives, it's important to assess
your knowledge and experience about the lessons you are just about to
discover.
First, let us try the next Alternate Response Diagnostic Test Type to
check something you already know about this lesson.
Consider that your score throughout this part of the module does not
actually affect your performance. So, it's all right to get bad scores. Let's
get a warm-up!
Direction: On your answer sheets, write “WE HEAL” if the statement
is correct and write “WE RECOVER” if the statement is incorrect.
1. Theoretically, a histogram demonstrating the mean of all samples
analyzed from a given population would be known as the sampling
distribution.
2. The review of sampling distributions of the sample means will be
the baseline for inferential statistics and the test hypothesis.

1
 3. The total value of all possible samples means that all possible
random samples of a given population size will be equal to the
population mean only if the data were normally distributed.
4. For any population, the standard deviation of the sample means is
approximately equal to the standard deviation of the population.
5. When the average of all possible values of the sample statistic is
equal to the parameter, the statistic is known as a biased estimator
of the parameter.
6. The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample means is
equal to the mean of the population mean.
7. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean is
also called as the standard error of the mean.
8. The error of sampling calculated from a small sample will always
be greater than one calculated from a large sample.
9. Sampling error is the difference between the sample mean and the
population mean.
10. To reduce the potential for extreme sampling error, the size of the
sample should be reduced.

You can now verify your answers whether they are right or not.
How's the result going? Is that good or bad? Don't worry if you have
bad scores, because that would be a reliable indicator that you're going to
need this self-learning module. That implies there are some sources of
competitive advantage that you need to develop and start exploring.
So, let's just go! Let us move ahead to the next part of this module so
that you can achieve the skills and competencies that you need to improve.

Finding the Mean and the

Lesson
Variance of the Sampling
1 Distribution of the Sample
Means
Recognize that the sampling distribution of the sample means is
definitely the probability distribution of the sample means, which also
implies that the sample is the random variable in this probability
distribution. But since the sampling distribution of the means is the
probability distribution of the random variable X, we could perhaps
calculate its mean and variance.

2
 In this lesson, we shall solve for the mean in the variance of the
sampling distribution of the sample means and investigate some of its
important properties along with the definition for normal population
when the variance is known and unknown.

What’s In

What’s New

Now that you have connected the previous lesson to your approach to
learning concepts and skills through this module, let us consider the
following activity that will give you a recall of the concepts of the previous
lesson.
Situation: It is Monday! Harvey is very enthusiastic and challenged
for his Modular Distance Learning (MDL) experience at Week 5 in
Statistics and Probability. His encounter with past quarters and modules
justifies his excitement in learning more about the core subject. He chose
the MDL's Digital Module Scheme because it is more practical to his
condition.
On the other hand, his mobile phone notified him that Module 5 of
Statistics and Probability had been posted to their Facebook Learning
Space, ready to be accessed and downloaded. Surprisingly, there's a
problem with Harvey. He forgot his 5-digit smartphone passcode!
Let us help Harvey decode his passcode by reviewing the past lesson on
the introduction of sampling distribution of sample means.
Direction: On your answer sheets, copy the Code Table and review
the concepts of the previous lesson by completing the paragraphs and
tables provided. Link them to the corresponding number in the Code

 The next part of this module will be a brief and simple discussion of the
lesson. This will be followed by a series of formative assessment activities.
Hey, just boost it up!

What is It

It’s time to take a general tour around this module. This portion of your
journey acts a simple and brief discussion of the lesson that aims to help
you discover and understand new concepts and skills. This will really help
you understand the real-life applications of mean and variance of
sampling distribution of the sample means.

Basically, the flow of the discussion will be starting with the

presentation of the example problem about the mean of the sampling
distribution of the sample means and to be followed by the corresponding
problem about its variance and standard deviation.

By helping Harvey in this module, you are able to have a learning

buddy in order for you to reach your goals in finishing this module with
learned skills and competencies on your intellects!

First, Harvey wants to investigate the mean of the sampling

distribution of the sample means and compare it with the mean of the
population. After the comparison of the means, Harvey must compare the
variance and the standard deviation of the population to the sample
means.

Let us do this!

Illustrative Example:
The following table gives the sum of tutorial rate of six teachers in
Central Luzon per month. Suppose that random samples of size 4 are
taken from this population of six teachers, do the following tasks.

Teacher Tutorial Rate (in thousand pesos) X

A 8
B 12
C 16
D 20
E 24
F 28

 1. Solve for the mean of the population μ.
2. Solve for the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample means μx.̄
3. Compare μ and μx̅.
4. Solve for the variance (σ2) and the standard deviation (σ) of the
population.
5. Solve the variance (σ2x̅) and the standard deviation (σx̅) of the sampling
distribution of the sample means μx̅.
6. Compare σ and σx̅.

Solutions:
1. The population mean μ is solved as follows.
ΣX 8 + 12 + 16 + 20 + 24 + 108
𝜇= = = = 18
𝑁 28 6
6
Therefore, the population mean of the tutorial rates of the select
teachers in Central Luzon is 18 thousand pesos per month.

2. To solve for the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample means,
the following steps are to be considered.
a. Identify the possible samples of size 4 and compute their
individual means.

Sample Mean

 b. Construct the sampling distribution table for the sample means
and multiply the sample means to their probabilities.

21 1 1/15 21/15
22 1 1/15 22/15
Total 15 15/15 or 1 270/15 = 18

c. Solve for the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample

means by using the following formula 𝜇𝑥̅ = Σ[𝑋̅ • 𝑃(𝑋̅ )].
270
= Σ [ 𝑋̅ • 𝑃(𝑋̅ )] = = 18
𝜇𝑥
15
Therefore, the mean of the sampling distribution of the
sample means is 18.

3. The population mean μ is 18 and the mean of the sample means μx̅ is
18. Therefore, μ = μx̅.

4. To solve for the variance (σ2) and the standard deviation (σ) of the
population, the given table below will be utilized.

𝜎2 = 4.67 𝜎 = 6.83
Therefore, the variance of the population is 4.67 and the standard
deviation is 6.83.

5. To solve for the variance (σ2x̅) and the standard deviation (σx̅) of the
sampling distribution of the sample means, the following steps are
to be considered.
a. The following formula will be utilized to solve for the variance
(σ2x̅) and the standard deviation (σx̅) of the sampling
distribution of the sample means.
Variance: Standard Deviation:

𝜎2 𝑥 = Σ [𝑋̅ 2 ∙ 𝑃(𝑋̅ )] − 𝜇2 𝑥 𝜎𝑥 = √Σ [𝑋̅ 2 ∙ 𝑃(𝑋̅)] − 𝜇2 𝑥

b. Construct the sampling distribution table for the sample

means, square the sample means and multiply the result to
the probabilities.

Total 2 976 15/15 or 1 4 930/15 or 328.67

11
 c. Solve for the variance and standard deviation of the sampling
distribution of the sample means by using the given formula.

Variance: Standard Deviation:

𝜎 2 𝑥 = Σ [𝑋̅ 2 ∙ 𝑃(𝑋̅ )] − 𝜇2 𝑥 𝜎𝑥 = √Σ [𝑋̅ 2 ∙ 𝑃(𝑋̅)] − 𝜇2 𝑥

𝜎2𝑥 = 328.67 − (18)2 𝜎𝑥 = √328.67 − (18)2

𝜎2𝑥 = 4.67 𝜎𝑥 = 2.16

Therefore, the variance and the standard deviation of

the sampling distribution of the sample means are 4.67
and 2.16, respectively.

6. The variance of the population and sample mean are equal with the
value of 4.67. The standard deviation of the population is 6.83 and
standard deviation of the sample means is 2.16. Therefore, σ ≠ σx̅.

The existing relationship of the variance and standard deviation of the

population to the mean of the sample means has something to do with
Central Limit Theorem which will be discussed in the next module.
