... The average squared distance of sample means from the population mean is the variance divided by n, the size of the sample. To find the average unsquared distance of sample means from mu divide the variance by n, then take the square root. The result is called the standard error of the sample me ...

Sampling distribution and hypothesis testing
... - Now take SET OF SCORES, see if a sample is probable or improbable. Or, see if estimate of population (sample mean) is reliable (a good estimate). - Instead of creating a distribution of scores, create a distribution of MEANS. - Can INFER if sample is probable/improbable from the population or vice ...

... the weights of men from Data Set 1 in Appendix B, we obtain these sample statistics for the simple random sample: n = 40 and x = 172.55 lb. Research from several other sources suggests that the population of weights of men has a standard deviation given by = 26 lb. a) Find the best point estimate ...

... 8)The median of a set of numbers is 164. What does that mean? The median is the middle number. So this means that the number in the middle of all the data is 164. It also means that 50% of the values are more than 164 and 50% of all the values are less than 164. And we end up with: 50% of the data i ...

What is a sampling distribution anyway? • If we select 100 groups of first graders and give each group a reading test, the groups’ mean reading scores will: • Differ from each other • Differ from the true population mean • Form a normal distribution that has: • a mean (i.e., mean of the means) that ...
