Sampling Distribution

of the Sample Mean

using
Central Limit
Theorem
Central Limit Theorem
States that the sampling distribution of
the sample mean of a random sample
draw from any population is
approximately normal for a sufficient
large sample size.
The larger the size, the closer the
sampling distribution of X and will
resemble normal distribution.
For a large sample size (n) usually n ≥ 30, the
following formula for the z-score can be used
regardless of the shape of the population.

And
Examples

1. Let X be a random variable with μ = 25 and σ = 6. A

sample size of 100 is taken from this population. Find:
a. the probability that the sample mean is less than 24.
b. The probability that the sample mean is equal to 26.5

2. Let X be a random variable with μ = 20 and σ = 5. A

sample size of 50 is taken from a normally population. Find
the probability that:
c. The total of these 50 observation greater than 950.
d. The total of these 50 observation is 975 and 1100.
