LP Chapter 4 Lesson 2 Point Estimation of The Population Mean

This lesson plan is for a statistics and probability class with the objectives of identifying possible point estimators of the population mean and computing a point estimate of the population mean. The lesson will include a motivational activity, discussion of possible estimators and what makes a good estimator, and an example using sample weight data from students. Students will then do an evaluation activity estimating the true mean breaking strength of a new plastic material based on sample data and computing the precision of the estimate. For homework, students will estimate the true average amount spent on alcoholic beverages using sample expenditure data from university students.

Lesson Plan in Statistics and Probability 11 10:00-11:00 Amber
11:00-12:00 Crystal
Date: March 4, 2019 2:00-3:00 Beryl
Time Frame: 60 mins.

I. OBJECTIVES:
1. Identify possible point estimators of the population mean (M11/12SP-IIIf-4)
2. Compute for a point estimate of the population mean (M11/12SP-IIIf-5)
Subtask:
a. Discuss characteristics of a “good” estimator
b. Appraise why the sample mean is the “best” estimator of the population mean

II. SUBJECT MATTER:


1. Topic: Point Estimation of the Population Mean
2. Reference: CG, Statistics Books
3. Materials: Laptop, Projector

III. PROCEDURE:
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Routine Activities
1.1 Prayer
1.2 Greetings
1.3 Checking of Attendance
1.4 Energizer

2. Review
- Parameter vs Statistics

3. Motivation/Presentation of Lesson
-Motivational Activity.

B. Development of Lesson
1. Activity
- Do the motivational activity (refer to TG page 321)

2. Analysis
- What are the possible estimators of the population mean?

3. Abstract/Generalization
- How will you choose the best estimator among several estimators?
4. Application

- Consider the following observed weights (in kilograms) of a random sample of 20


learners and use it to estimate the true value of the average weight of learners enrolled
in the class

IV. EVALUATION:

1. A company that manufactures electronic calculators uses a certain type of plastic. An alternative
plastic material is introduced in the market and the manager of the company is thinking of shifting to
this material. He will decide to shift if the mean breaking strength of the new material is greater than
155. It is known that the breaking strengths of the new plastic material follow the normal distribution
and have a standard deviation of 10 psi (pounds per square inch). Six samples of the new plastic
materials were randomly selected and their breaking strengths were determined. The data obtained
were 156, 154, 168, 157, 160 and 158. Estimate the true mean breaking strength of the new plastic
material and measure the precision of this estimate.

V. ASSIGNMENT:

1. The head of the Philippine University (PU) observes a decline on the alcoholic expenditures of
learners from a monthly expenditure of Php350 in the previous year. To check on this, he randomly
selected 10 PU learners who drink alcoholic beverages and asked for the amount, in pesos, that they
usually spent on alcoholic beverages in a month. It is known that the usual amount spent on alcoholic
beverages by learners who drink alcoholic beverages follows the normal distribution with standard
deviation of Php10. The data collected are: 400, 235, 200, 250, 200, 300, 500, 430, 420, and 220.
Estimate the true average amount spent on alcoholic beverages by learners who drink alcoholic
beverages.
