CHAPTER 5 Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem
Population Distribution of X Suppose X ~ N(μ, σ), then… X = Age of women in U.S. who have given birth Density x4 x1 x5 x2 x3 … etc…. σ = 1.5 Most individual ages are in the neighborhood of μ, but there are occasional outliers in the tails of the distribution. X x x x x x μ= 25.4
Population Distribution of X Suppose X ~ N(μ, σ), then… Sample, n = 400 Sample, n = 400 Sample, n = 400 Sample, n = 400 Sample, n = 400 X = Age of women in U.S. who have given birth Density … etc…. How are these values distributed? σ = 1.5 X μ= 25.4
Population Distribution of X Suppose X ~ N(μ, σ), then… Suppose X ~ N(μ, σ), then… for any sample size n. “standard error” X = Age of women in U.S. who have given birth Sampling Distribution of Density Density … etc…. How are these values distributed? σ = 2.4 The vast majority of sample meanages are extremely close to μ, i.e., extremely small variability. X μ= 25.4 μ= μ=
Population Distribution of X Suppose X ~ N(μ, σ), then… Suppose X ~ N(μ, σ), then… for any sample size n. for large sample size n. “standard error” X = Age of women in U.S. who have given birth Suppose X ~ N(μ, σ), then… Sampling Distribution of Density Density … etc…. How are these values distributed? σ = 2.4 The vast majority of sample meanages are extremely close to μ, i.e., extremely small variability. X μ= 25.4 μ= μ=
Population Distribution of X X ~ Anything with finite μ and σ Suppose XN(μ, σ), then… for any sample size n. for large sample size n. “standard error” X = Age of women in U.S. who have given birth Suppose X ~ N(μ, σ), then… Sampling Distribution of Density Density … etc…. How are these values distributed? σ = 2.4 The vast majority of sample meanages are extremely close to μ, i.e., extremely small variability. X μ= 25.4 μ= μ=
