Sample Distribution

Sample mean ( ̄x) and sample proportion (ˆp)

Sample Proportion Definition

The sample proportion (ˆp) represents the fraction of the sample that has a particular characteristic, used to estimate the population proportion. Derived from categorical data.

Sample Proportion Formula

The number of successes in the sample divided by the total number of observations in the sample

<p>The <strong>number of successes</strong> in the sample <strong>divided </strong>by the <strong>total number of observations in the sample</strong>.&nbsp;</p>

Sample Proportion Distribution

If np(1-p) >= 5, distribution of sample proportion is approzimated by N(p, (p(1 - p)) / n).

<p>If np(1-p) &gt;= 5, distribution of sample proportion is approzimated by N(p, (p(1 - p)) / n). </p>

Stand Error of ˆp Forumula

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a sample proportion. It measures how much the sample proportion is expected to vary from the true population proportion.

Sample Mean 

The sample mean (X̄) is the average of all observations in a sample. Derived from quantitative data.

Central Limit Theorem

Sampling distribution of the sample mean will approach a normal distribution as the sample size increases, regardless of the population's distribution. Approximation will improve if the data distribution is less skewed.

Central Limit Theorem Formula

Expressed as the distribution for the sample mean X̄ being approximately normal: 𝑋̄∼𝑁(𝜇,𝜎2/n).

As sample size increases, what happens to shape of the sampling distribution of sample mean?

The sampling distribution of the sample mean looks less like the data/population distribution as the sample size increases. The sampling distribution becomes approximately normal, even if the data/population distribution is not normal.

As sample size increases, how does the shape of the data distribution change in relation to the population distribution?

The data distribution looks more like the population distribution as the sample size increases.
