The document discusses the sampling distribution of the sample mean. It defines the sampling distribution of the sample mean as a frequency distribution of means computed from all possible random samples of a specific size taken from a population. It outlines the steps to construct the sampling distribution which include determining the number of possible samples, listing the samples and computing the mean of each, and constructing a frequency distribution of the sample means. An example is provided to illustrate these steps.

SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION
▪ The probability distribution of a sample statistic.
 

 
SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE
SAMPLE MEAN
▪ A frequency distribution using means computed from all possible
random samples of a specific size taken from a population.
STEPS IN CONSTRUCTING THE SAMPLING
DISTRIBUTION OF THE SAMPLE MEAN
1. Determine the number of possible samples that can be drawn from the
population using the formula of combination “ NCr ” where N is the size of the
population and r is the size of the sample.
 

2. List all the possible samples and compute the mean of each
sample.
3. Construct a frequency distribution of the sample means obtained
in step 2.
Example 1: Five small pouches are known to contain 5,8,10,6, and 4 marbles in
each pouch. These pouches are placed in a box and two pouches are drawn at
random from the box. Construct a sampling distribution of the average number of
marbles in a pouch.
Given: N = 5; r = 2
Step 1: Determine the number of possible samples that can be drawn from the population.

   

   
Step 2: List all the possible samples and compute the mean of each sample.
