Suppose further that we compute a statistic (e.g., a mean, proportion, standard deviation) for each sample. The probability distribution of this statistic is called a standard error sampling distribution. And the standard deviation of this statistic is called the standard error. Variability of a Sampling Distribution The variability of a sampling distribution is measured by its variance or its standard deviation. The variability of a sampling distribution depends on three factors: N: The number of observations in the population. n: The number of observations in the sample. The way that the random sample is chosen. If standard error of the population size is much larger than the sample size, then the sampling distribution has roughly the same standard error, whether we sample with or without replacement. On the other hand, if the sample represents a significant fraction (say, 1/20) of the population size, the standard error will be meaningfully smaller, when we sample without replacement. Sampling Distribution of the Mean Suppose we draw all possible samples of size n from a population of size N. Suppose further that we compute a mean score for each sample. In this way, we create a sampling distribution of the mean. We know the following about the sampling distribution of the mean. The mean of the sampling distribution (μx) is equal to the mean of the population (μ). And the standard error of the sampling distribution (σx) is determined by the standard deviation of the population (σ), the population size (N), and the sample size (n). These relationships are shown in the equations below: μx = μ and σx = [ σ / sqrt(n) ] * sqrt[ (N - n ) / (N - 1) ] In the standard error formula, the factor sqrt[ (N - n ) / (N - 1) ] is called the finite p
