Central Limit

The Central Limit Theorem states that the sampling distribution of the mean approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases, regardless of the population's initial distribution shape. It is significant for researchers as it allows for accurate conclusions about a population based on a limited sample. The document also discusses the standard error of the mean and provides various examples for calculating it.

Central Limit

Theorem
CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM

It states that the sampling distribution


of the mean approaches a normal
distribution, as the sample size
increases.
CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM
Regardless of the initial shape of the
population distribution, if samples of size n
are randomly selected from a population,
the sampling distribution of the sampling
means will approach a normal distribution
as the sample size n gets larger.
CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM
Central Limit theorem is important
because it teaches researchers to use a
limited sample to make intelligent and
accurate conclusions about a greater
population. It also justifies the use of
normal curve methods for a wide range of
problems.
STANDARD ERROR OF THE MEAN
measures the degree of accuracy
of the sample mean () as an estimate
of the population mean (). It is also
known as the standard deviation of
the sampling distribution of the
sampling mean, denoted by ().
STANDARD ERROR OF THE MEAN

where:
= population standard deviation
= sample size
EXAMPLE 1:
Determine the standard error of
the mean for each of the sample
size n = 28 given the population
standard deviation of 30. Round off
your answer to the nearest
hundredths.
EXAMPLE 2:

Determine the standard error of


the mean for each of the sample
size n = 35 given the population
standard deviation of 5. Round off
your answer to the nearest tenths.
EXAMPLE 3:

Determine the standard error of


the mean for each of the sample
size n = 40 given the population
standard deviation of 12. Round off
your answer to the nearest tenths.
EXAMPLE 4:
Determine the standard error of
the mean for each of the sample
size n = 62 given the population
standard deviation of 25. Round off
your answer to the nearest
hundredths.

EXAMPLE 5:
Suppose the average age of family
members is 34 with a standard deviation
of 4. If 100 members of the community
decided to have a summer outing bonding
and relaxation. Find the probability that
the average of these members is less than
35.
EXAMPLE 6:
Assume that the variable is normally
distributed, the average time it takes a group
of senior high school students to complete a
certain examination is 46.2 minutes while the
standard deviation is 8 minutes. What is the
probability that a randomly selected senior
high school students will complete the
examination in less than 43 minutes?
EXAMPLE 7.a:
Let be the mean of a random
sample of the size 60 drawn from a
population with the mean 120 and a
standard deviation of 45.
a. Find the probability that assumes
a value between 112 and 125.
EXAMPLE 7.b:
Let be the mean of a random
sample of the size 60 drawn from a
population with the mean 120 and
a standard deviation of 45.
b. Find the probability that
assumes a value greater than 117.
EXAMPLE 7.c:
Let be the mean of a random
sample of the size 60 drawn from a
population with the mean 120 and
a standard deviation of 45.
c. Find the probability that
assumes a value less than 105.
