The document discusses the concept of sampling distribution of the sample means, emphasizing its importance in research as a practical alternative to gathering data from entire populations. It provides definitions, examples, and step-by-step instructions for computing the mean and variance of sampling distributions using various sample sizes. Additionally, it includes activities for readers to practice these concepts with given populations.

Lesson Overview

In the previous week, you learned that gathering data


for research from a large group of population does not
only involve a great deal of time but is costly and
impractical as well. To avoid these, researchers resort to
sampling techniques. There are different sets of possible
samples that can be drawn from a population. This
week, you will learn a kind of distribution, the sampling
distribution of the mean. Sampling distribution of the
mean shows all possible samples in a given population,
together with their mean. You will describe the
distribution of the sample mean by computing its mean
and variance.
Definition of Sampling Distribution of the
Sample Means

Sampling distribution of the sample means is a


frequency distribution using the computed
sample mean from all the possible random
samples of a particular sample size taken from
the given population.
Sampling distribution of the means describes the
probability of the mean of all sets of samples with
the same sample size n. One random sample of
size n maybe used to conclude for the population
Now, let us learn to describe the sampling
distribution of the sample mean by computing its
mean and variance. Example 1: (with
replacement) Consider the population consisting
of the values 2,5,7, and 8. a. Compute the
population mean and variance. b. List all the
possible samples of size 2 that can be drawn from
the population. c. Find the mean and variance of
the sampling distribution of the mean. d. Compare
the population mean and the mean of the
sampling distribution of the mean. e. Compare the
variance of the sampling distribution of means and
Example 2: Without Replacement
A population consists of three number (2, 4, 6).
Consider all possible samples of size 2 which can
be drawn without replacement from the
population.
a. Compute the population mean and variance.
b. List all the possible samples of size 2 that can
be drawn from the population.
c. Find the mean and variance of the sampling
distribution of the mean.
d. Compare the population mean and the mean of
the sampling distribution of the mean.
Sampling distribution of the sample means is a
frequency distribution using the computed
sample mean from all the possible random
samples of a particular sample size taken from
the given population.
2. List all the possible samples.

3. Compute the population mean and the mean


of each sample.

4. Construct a frequency and probability


distribution table of the sample means indicating
its number of occurrence or the frequency and
probability. This will be your sampling
distribution of the sample means obtained in
step 3.
Illustrative Example:

A population consists of the numbers 2, 4, 9,


10, and 5. Consider samples of size 3 from this
population, compute the populations mean, the
mean of each sample and construct the
sampling distribution of sample means.
Step 2: Samples of size 3:
2, 4, 9 2, 4, 10 2, 4, 5 2, 9, 10 2, 9, 5
2, 10, 5 4, 9, 10 4, 9, 5 4, 10, 5 9, 10, 5
Activity 2 –Construct Me! Direction: Read and
analyze the situation below. In your answer
sheet, answer what is asked.

Situation: A population consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4,


and 5. Suppose samples of size 2 are drawn from
this population. List all the possible samples.
Then, compute the population mean, the mean of
each sample, and construct the sampling
distribution of sample means by following the
steps.
