Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Statistics and Probability for Senior High School

Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Finding the Mean and
Variance of the Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the
teacher or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the
K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore,
this also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in
the body of the module:

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind on how you
can determine the mean and variance of the sampling distribution of
means in solving real-life situated problems. Also, you will learn the
properties of the sampling distribution of the sample mean for finite and
infinite populations. These topics in statistics are the foundation of all
researchers in various fields (engineering, education, science, e.g.) that
would like to understand the behavior, properties, and characteristics of
the population being observed.
The module has one lesson:

Sampling Distribution of the
1 Sample Mean

Statisticians do not just define the discrepancy of the individual data

values about the mean of the population. They are also concerned to
know how the means of the samples of the same size taken from the
same group vary about the population mean. In this lesson, you will learn
how to describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean by
computing its mean and variance.

What’s In

Let’s have this first for a review. Find out if you are ready to learn the
next lesson by answering the activity.

22 students in Math High School in Quezon Province. Compute the

 Notes to the Teacher

Here are the concepts that will help you to guide the learners to
answer and understand the above review questions.
1. The formula for the mean of sample data in frequency

distribution is given by x=
∑ fx .
n
2. To determine the variance of sample data, use the formula
s =∑ f x −¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ or s2=Σ f ¿ ¿
2 2

3. The sum of all probabilities P( X) in a probability

distribution is always equal to 1.
4. The mean of the probability distribution is given by

μ=∑ [ X • P ( X ) ]

5. Variance of the probability distribution is computed using

the formulaσ 2=∑ ( X−μ)2 • P ( X ) or ∑ [ X 2 P ( x ) ]−μ2

What’s New

Can you identify the steps in finding the mean and variance of the
sampling distribution of sample means? Study the following problem to
perform this task.

Instruction: Identify the steps in solving the mean and variance of the
sampling distribution of the sample means by analyzing each given
illustration.

Mark is conducting a survey on grade 12 students of Nasyonalismo

High School. He found out that there are only few students who knew
about the makers of the Philippine flag consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 SHS
students from 5 sections. Suppose that the sample size of 2 sections were

6
drawn from this population (without replacement), describe the sampling
distribution of the sample means.

1. What is the mean and variance of the sampling distribution of

the
sample means?
2. Compare these values to the mean and variance of the
population.

Note: S. Mean = sample mean, P. Mean= population mean

So, the (7) variance of the sampling distribution is 0.75

Solution:
1. Compute the mean of the population using the formula µ=Σx /N . The
value equals to 3.0.
2. Compute the variance of the population using the formula
2 2
σ =Σ( x−µ) / N .
a. Subtract each measurement by the computed population mean.
b. Square the results obtained in (a) then add. Divide the sum by the
frequency of measurement to get the value of the population
variance. The value equals to 2.0.

3. Determine the number of possible samples of size 2 (without
replacement). Use the combination formula NCn where N is the
population size and n is the sample size.
4. List all possible samples and compute the corresponding means.

5. Construct the sampling distribution of the sample means.

6. Compute the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample means.

Follow these steps:

a. Multiply each sample mean by the corresponding probability.
b. Add the results obtained in a. (The sum of the values corresponding
to that column is the mean of the sampling distribution of the
sample
means.)
μ x =∑ [ X ¿• P(X )]¿

7. Compute the variance of the sampling distribution of the sample

means
using the formula σ x =∑ [P (X )• ( X−μ ) ].
2 2

Follow these steps:

a. Subtract the population mean from each sample mean.
b. Square the difference obtained in a.
c. Multiply each result in b by the corresponding probability.
d. Add the results in c. (The sum is the variance of the sampling
distribution of the sample means.).

MIND THIS: The mean of the population is equal to the sampling

distribution of sample mean

10
 What is It

Based on the previous activity, the mean of the population is equal

to the sample mean. This happens because all samples obtained of n size
came from the same population. The variance of the population is greater
than the variance of the sample means since a sample of n is less than
the population N then the data vary by a small amount as compared to
the population. The activity also taught you the steps in finding the mean
and variance of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

 Additional Activities

Miss Mathica Kumpleto (MMK), a SHS Math teacher in Mathalino

National High School would like to find the mean and variance of the
sampling distribution of the sample mean of the height of her students
by forming a group consisting of 6 members. She also said that they
need to determine the height (in meters) of each member of the group
and to get a list of the average height of each group. She further
instructed her students to submit their answer with the following data.

1. List all possible samples of size 2 and their corresponding mean.

First Step: Compute the mean of the population μ=7.67

Second Step: Compute the variance of the population
a. Subtract each measurement by the computed population mean
b. Square the results obtained in (a) then add. Divide the sum by the
frequency of measurements to get the value of the population
variance.

σ x =13.89
Third Step: Determine the number of possible samples of size n =
2, using formula of combination. N Cn
15 -number of possible samples of size 2
Fourth Step: List all possible samples and their corresponding
means.
