Variance of Sample Means Calculation

1. The document calculates the mean and variance of the sampling distribution of the sample mean for a population consisting of the numbers 2,4,9,10, and 5. All possible samples of size 3 are listed and their means and probabilities are computed. The variance of the sampling distribution is found to be 1.53. 2. It then considers a population of 1,2,3,4, and 5 and samples of size 2. The variance of the population is given as 2 and the standard deviation as 1.41. It asks to find the variance of the sampling distribution of the sample means using the given formula. 3. A brief explanation of the central limit theorem is given, that the sampling

TOPIC: FINDING MEAN AND VARIANCE OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE SAMPLE MEAN
1. A population consists of the numbers 2,4,9,10, and 5. Let us list all possible sample size of 3 from this population and compute the mean and variance of the sampling distribution of the sample means.
a. Compute for the possible samples using the formula of combination. b. Compute for the population mean

∑ P(x) (x - µ x̄) = 1.53 or
the σ2 x̄ = 1.53
(Population variance of a
sample mean)

CONCLUSION: THEREFORE, THE VARIANCE OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE SAMPLE MEAN IS 1.53.
OR WE CAN USE THE FORMULA BELOW TO COMPUTE FOR THE VARIANCE OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE SAMPLE MEANS.

2. Consider a population consisting of 1,2,3,4, and 5 suppose samples of size 2 are drawn from this population. What is the mean variance in standard
deviation of the sampling distribution of sample mean. Use the formula
N=5
n=2

σ2 = 2
σ = 1.41
Find for the σ2 x̄
CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM
 If sample of size n are randomly selected from population with mean and variance, the sampling distribution will approach a normal distribution even when
the original population is not normally distributed, as long as the sample size is sufficiently large.

The histogram graph has a uniformed distribution.
