Mean and Variance of the
Sampling Distribution of the
Sample Mean
Properties of Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean
1. A population has a mean , then the mean of the
sampling distribution of the mean is also . Therefore
or
Properties of Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean
1. The variance of the sampling distribution of the
mean is the population variance divided by n, the
sample size.
for finite population and;
for infinite population.
Properties of Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean
1. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution
of the sampling means, which is the square root of
the variance, is also known as the standard error of
the mean. for infinite population and for infinite
population.
Steps in Constructing the Sampling Distribution of the
Sample Mean
1. Compute the population means.
2. Compute the population variance.
3. Determine the number of possible samples.
4. List all the possible samples and compute the mean of each sample.
5. Construct the sampling distribution of the sample means.
6. Compute the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample means.
7. Compute the variance of the sampling distribution of the sample means.
8. Construct the histogram.
