11 – STEM D

A. Identify the type of sampling method.

1. Lottery sampling
2. Systematic sampling
3. Systematic sampling
4. Stratified sampling
5. Lottery sampling

B. Decide whether the statement describes a parameter or statistic.

1. Statistic
2. Parameter
3. Parameter
4. Statistic
5. parameter

C. Construct all random samples consisting three observations from the given data.
Arrange the observations in ascending order without replacement and repetition.
86 89 92 95 98

STEP 1: Solve for the population mean.

𝜇 = 𝛴𝑥/𝑛 = (86 + 89 + 92 + 95 + 98)/5 = 92
STEP 2: Construct all random samples consisting of three observations (n = 3) from the given data set.
Arrange the observations in ascending order without replacement and repetition. Then get the sample
mean of each random sample.
RS (𝑛 = 3) Sample Mean
86, 89, 92 I 89
86, 89, 95 I 90
86, 89, 98 I 91
86, 92, 95 I 91
86, 92, 98 I 92
86, 95, 98 I 93
89, 92, 95 I 92
89, 92, 98 I 93
89, 95, 98 I 94
92, 95, 98 I 95
RS = Random Sample
Observe that 89, 90, 94, and 95 appeared only once; thus, their probability is P(x) = 1/10 or 0.1. Since 91,
92, and 93 appeared twice, their probability is P(x) = 2/10 or 0.2.
STEP 3: Construct the sampling distribution of the sample means.
SM (x̄) Probability
89 I 0.1
90 I 0.1
91 I 0.2
92 I 0.2
93 I 0.2
94 I 0.1
95 I 0.1
SM = Sample Mean
Observe that the total probability of all the sample means must be equal to 1.
