Reflective Questions

1. How do you solve for the mean of the sampling distribution of

sample means?
• 1. The mean is the simply average of the numbers. Here, you need the data of
your samples and also the total number of your samples also denotes the total
population. These two variables are what comprises your mean of the sampling
distribution. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers or the sample data,
then divide by the total population of your sample.

2. How do you compute for the variance and standard deviation of

the sampling distribution of sample means?
• In solving variance, you need your solved mean of the sampling distribution. To
easily calculate, let us first get the difference of each sample data to the
mean. After which, square those difference hence making it always positive. Get
the total of the squared difference between sample data and the mean, and we
can now simply substitute it to the formula for variance which is the total
square of the difference of the sample data to the mean all over the total
population of your samples minus 1.

3. What are the significance and relationship among the mean,

variance, and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of
sample means?
• Significance:
standard deviation and variance is a measure which tells how spread out
numbers is. While variance gives you a rough idea of spread, the standard
deviation is more concrete, giving you exact distances from the mean. Thus,
these three especially variance gives a great help in statistical analysis.

•Relationship:
Variance is the average squared deviations from the mean, while standard
deviation is the square root of this number. Both will be based on the sample
mean. Also, both measures reflect variability in a distribution, but their units
differ:

•Standard deviation is expressed in the same units as the original values (e.g.,
minutes or meters).
•Variance is expressed in much larger units (e.g., meters squared).
