“Finding the Mean and the Variance of the Sampling Distribution of the Sample Means”
Las 5A (2nd Semester Week 5)

ELICIT:
 Lesson 1: “Finding The Mean And Variance Of The Sampling Distribution Of The Sample Mean”
Directions: On your answer sheets, write “We Care” if the statement is correct and write “We Share” if the statement is
incorrect.
We Care 1. Theoretically, a histogram demonstrating the mean of all samples analyzed from a given population
would be known as the sampling distribution.
We Care 2. The review of sampling distributions of the sample means will be the baseline for inferential
statistics and the test hypothesis.
We Share 3. The total value of all possible samples means that all possible random samples of a given population
size will be equal to the population mean only if the data were normally distributed.

er as
We Share 4. For any population, the standard deviation of the sample means is approximately equal to the

co
standard deviation of the population.

eH w
We Share 5. When the average of all possible values of the sample statistic is equal to the parameter, the
statistic is known as a biased estimator of the parameter.

6. The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample means is equal to the mean of the population
ou urc
mean.
We Care 7. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean is also called as the standard error
of the mean.
o

We Share 8. The error of sampling calculated from a small sample will always be greater than one calculated
from a large sample.
aC s
vi y re

We Care 9. Sampling error is the difference between the sample mean and the population mean.
We Share 10. To reduce the potential for extreme sampling error, the size of the sample should be reduced.

 Activity 2: “Evaluation”
Directions: Solve the given real – life problem below. Show the complete solution for the following tasks.
Problem: As a Physical Education teacher of Jacinto P. Elpa National High School, Ma’am Miles wants to compute for the
is

Body Mass Index of few students as part of her research. As a start, the table below shows the heights of five students in
meters. Supposed samples of size 2 are taken from this population of five students, complete the given table and answer
