error of the mean State the central limit theorem The sampling distribution of the mean was defined in the section introducing sampling distributions. This section reviews some important properties of the sampling distribution of the mean introduced in the demonstrations in this standard error of sampling distribution when population standard deviation is unknown chapter. Mean The mean of the sampling distribution of the mean is the mean of standard error of sampling distribution when we do not know the population standard deviation the population from which the scores were sampled. Therefore, if a population has a mean μ, then the mean of the sampling distribution

of the mean is also μ. The symbol μM is used to refer to the mean of the sampling distribution of the mean. Therefore, the formula for the mean of the sampling distribution of the mean can

be written as: μM = μ Variance The variance of the sampling distribution of the mean is computed as follows: That is, the variance of the sampling distribution of the mean is the population variance divided by N, the sample size (the number of scores used to compute a mean). Thus, the larger the sample size, the smaller the variance of the sampling distribution of the mean. (optional) This expression can be derived very easily from standard error of sampling distribution of sample proportion the variance sum law. Let's begin by computing the variance of the sampling distribution of the sum of three numbers sampled from a population with variance σ2. The variance of the sum would be σ2 + σ2 + σ2. For N numbers, the variance would be Nσ2. Since the mean is 1/N times the sum, the variance of the sampling distribution of the mean would be 1/N2 times the variance of the sum, which equals σ2/N. The standard error of the mean is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean. It is therefore the square root of the variance of the sampling distribution of the mean and can be written as: The standard error is represented by a σ because it is a standard deviation. The subscript (M) indicates that the standard error in question is the standard error of the mean. Central Limit Theorem The central limit theorem states that: Given a population with a finite mean μ and a finite non-zero variance σ2, the sampling distribution of the mean approaches a normal distribution with a mean of μ and a variance of σ2/N as N, the sample size, increases. The expressions for the mean and variance of the sampling distribution of the mean are not new or remarkable. What is remarkable is that regardless of the shape of the parent po

repeatedly randomly drawn from a population, and the proportion of successes in each sample is recorded (\(\widehat{p}\)),the distribution https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/stat200/node/43 of the sample proportions (i.e., the sampling distirbution) can be approximated by a normal distribution given that both \(n \times p \geq 10\) and \(n \times (1-p) \geq 10\). This is known as theRule of Sample Proportions. Note that some textbooks use a minimum of 15 instead of 10.The mean of the standard error distribution of sample proportions is equal to the population proportion (\(p\)). The standard deviation of the distribution of sample proportions is symbolized by \(SE(\widehat{p})\) and equals \( \sqrt{\frac {p(1-p)}{n}}\); this is known as thestandard error of \(\widehat{p}\). The symbol \(\sigma _{\widehat p}\) is also used to signify the standard deviation of the standard error of distirbution of sample proportions.
