When the population standard deviation is not known the sampling distribution is a?

If the samples are drawn frm a normal population, when the population standard deviation is unknown and estimated by the sample standard deviation, the sampling distribution of the sample means follow a t-distribution.


We have a population with mean of 100 and standard deviation of 28 take repeated samples of size 49 and calculate the mean of each sample to form a sampling distribution Is it a Normal Distribution?

a) T or F The sampling distribution will be normal. Explain your answer. b) Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution. c) We pick one of our samples from the sampling distribution what is the probability that this sample has a mean that is greater than 109 ? Is this a usual or unusual event? these are the rest of the question.


The standard error of the mean is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean?

a large number of samples of size 50 were selected at random from a normal population with mean and variance.The mean and standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample mean were obtain 2500 and 4 respectivly.Find the mean and varince of the population?


What is the meaning of Sampling distribution of the test statistic?

Given any sample size there are many samples of that size that can be drawn from the population. In the population is N and the sample size in n, then there are NCn, but remember that the population can be infinite. A test statistic is a value that is calculated from only the observations in a sample (no unknown parameters are estimated). The value of the test statistic will change from sample to sample. The sampling distribution of a test statistic is the probability distribution function for all the values that the test statistic can take across all possible samples.


What is the difference between population and sample distribution?

Sampling distribution is the probability distribution of a given sample statistic. For example, the sample mean. We could take many samples of size k and look at the mean of each of those. The means would form a distribution and that distribution has a mean, a variance and standard deviation. Now the population only has one mean, so we can't do this. Population distribution can refer to how some quality of the population is distributed among the population.

What distribution is a sampling distribution referring to?

A sampling distribution refers to the distribution from which data relating to a population follows. Information about the sampling distribution plus other information about the population can be inferred by appropriate analysis of samples taken from a distribution.


What is a sampling distribution?

The sampling distribution for a statistic is the distribution of the statistic across all possible samples of that specific size which can be drawn from the population.


When the population standard deviation is not known the sampling distribution is a?

What is the distribution of values taken by a statistic in all possible samples of equal size from the same population?

It is the sampling distribution of that variable.


What do you mean by a statistic and its sampling distribution?

A statistic is a summary measure of some characteristic of a population. If you were to take repeated samples from the population you would not get the same statistic each time - it would vary. And the set of values you would get is its sampling distribution.


When population distribution is right skewed is the sampling also with right skewed distribution?

If the population distribution is roughly normal, the sampling distribution should also show a roughly normal distribution regardless of whether it is a large or small sample size. If a population distribution shows skew (in this case skewed right), the Central Limit Theorem states that if the sample size is large enough, the sampling distribution should show little skew and should be roughly normal. However, if the sampling distribution is too small, the sampling distribution will likely also show skew and will not be normal. Although it is difficult to say for sure "how big must a sample size be to eliminate any population skew", the 15/40 rule gives a good idea of whether a sample size is big enough. If the population is skewed and you have fewer that 15 samples, you will likely also have a skewed sampling distribution. If the population is skewed and you have more that 40 samples, your sampling distribution will likely be roughly normal.

True or False If the population distribution is unknown in most cases the sampling distribution of the mean can be approximated by the normal dist. if the samples contain at least 30 observations.?

true


What is the purpose of a sampling distribution?

A statistic based on a sample is an estimate of some population characteristic. However, samples will differ and so the statistic - which is based on the sample - will take different values. The sampling distribution gives an indication of ho accurate the sample statistic is to its population counterpart.


Is sampling distribution more compact when is is based on smaller samples?

No: the opposite.


If repeating an experiment many times with different samples what values for the sample means would be possible?

The answer depends on the population and is described by the sampling distribution of the mean.
