OF SAMPLE MEANS

GRADE 11 – ABM, STEM, HE STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

Given the set of numbers, compute for the mean. Write
your answer on the space provided in each item. Round
off your answers to two decimal places.

1.) 4, 12, 34, 45, 6

2.) 23, 45, 67, 89, 21, 11
3.) 88, 87, 86, 89, 88, 90
4.) 34, 21, 45, 67, 23
5.) 12, 9, 6, 5, 32, 40
Mean or Average STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
A sampling distribution of sample means is a
frequency distribution using the means
computed from all possible random samples
of a specific size taken from a population. The
means of the samples are less than or greater
than the mean of the population.
Sampling Distribution STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
The difference between the sample mean and
the population.

Sampling Error STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

To identify the number of possible outcomes or
combination, use the formula (the
number of N objects taken n at a
time), where N is the total population and n is the
sample to be taken out of the
population

Number of Possible Outcomes STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

Example 1: A population consists of the numbers 2, 4, 9, 10,
and 5. Let us list all possible sample size of 3 from this
population and compute the mean of each sample.
STEP 1

There are 10 possible samples of size 3 that can be drawn from the given data.

Sampling Distribution of Sample Means STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

A population consists of the five numbers 2,
3, 6, 10 and 12. Consider samples of size 2
that can be drawn from this population. How
many possible samples can be drawn?
