However, you might be wondering why the computed standard error for examples 3 and 4 are different. This is because of the sampling error Sampling error is influenced by two factors ~ the population variance and the sample siz. Infact, the larger the size of the sample, thg smaller 1s the sampling error. Reflect Upon Sampling error and sample size are inversely related. The smaller the sample size, the greater the sampling error. Can you generalize this same observation in the formation of groups and clubs?

Distribution of the Sample Mean of a Normal Variable Suppose a random variable ‘is given and the population distribution of 1'is known fo be normal with mean je and vanable a? Then, it follows that the sampling distribution ofthe mean of all samples of size selected from X ts normal with mean jug = p and variance a2 Knowing the normality of the sampling distribution of the sample mean allow you to’ compute probabilities involving means of samples using the standard normal distribution. Recall from module 4 that any score from a nonmal distribution can be converted int its equivalent standard normal score using z = =*, Now, since ina sampling distribution of the sample mean, the random variable gives the statistic Z with mean and standard deviation =, the formula is derived as Example 6: Suppose thatthe systolic blood pressures ofa certain population are normally distributed with mean f= 125 and o = 8 and a sample with size 36 is taken from this population. What is the probability that a single sample will have a mean blood pressure of less than 122? Solution: The sampling distribution of the means of all the samples taken from the population is normal since the population itself is normally distributed. Since 4 = 125 and o = 8, then the mean blood pressure of 122 can be converted to its corresponding standard score 122-125 _-3 _-18__ 40. re a er v36 6 In the z-table, $ (2.25) = 6(2.25)= 0.4878, P(e (-2.25) 2 4 0 4 2 8 Thus, 7 P(X < 122) = P(Z < -2.28) = 0.5 - 0.4878 ‘This means that the probability that a randomly chosen sample from the population will have a mean systolic blood pressure less than 122 is 1.22%.
