CENTRAL LIMIT

THEOREM
CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM
If random samples of size are drawn from a
population, then as becomes larger, the
sampling distribution of the mean approaches
the normal distribution, regardless of the
shape of the population distribution.
CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM
PROPERTY OF SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF
SAMPLE MEAN

1. The population mean is equal to the mean of

the sampling distribution.

2. The variance is estimated by dividing the

population variance by the sample size.
PROPERTY OF SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF
SAMPLE MEAN

3. The standard deviation is estimated by

dividing the standard deviation of the
population by the square root of the sample
size.
A random sample of size is 50 is selected from a known
population with a mean of 13 and a standard deviation of
3.3. Samples of the same size are repeatedly collected,
allowing a sampling distribution of sample means to be
drawn. What is the approximate standard deviation of
the sample means?
Given:
Given:

∴, the approximate
standard deviation of the
Solution: sample mean is 0.467.
CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM
The distribution of the sample mean tends
toward the normal distribution as the sample
size increases, regardless of the distribution
from which we are sampling.
The sample mean can be considered
approximately normally distributed if the
sample size is at least 30.

Suppose the average age of the family
member is 34 with a standard deviation of 4.
If 100 members off the community decided to
have a summer outing bonding and
relaxation, find the probability that the
average of these members is less than 35?

Opinion Research Corporation reported that the average time of
mean in the shower is 11.4 min with standard deviation of 1.8 min.
If the times in the shower are approximately normal, what is the
probability that the mean time from 20 selected men exceed 12.5?
