Characteristics of a Sampling Distribution
Definition: The sampling distribution of the X’s is a frequency curve, or histogram constructed from all the NCn
possible values of X.
μμx
Characteristic 2. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution which is the standard deviation of all the NCn of X is equal to the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size. (Also called the standard error, SE.)
n
σσx
Characteristic 1. The mean of all the NCn possible values of X is equal to the population mean, µ.

Confidence Interval
(or Interval Estimate)
A C% confidence interval for a population mean, μ, is an interval [a,b] such that μ would lie within C% of such intervals if repeated samples of the same size were formed and interval estimates made.
Central Limit Theorem
Under certain conditions, the sampling distribution of the X’s result in a normal distribution

Definition
Confidence Interval
(or Interval Estimate)
a range (or an interval) of values used to estimate the true value of the population
parameter
Lower # < population parameter < Upper #
![Page 13: 7.1 Definitions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56812ad3550346895d8eb374/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Confidence Interval
(or Interval Estimate)
a range (or an interval) of values used to estimate the true value of the population
parameter
Lower # < population parameter < Upper #
As an example
Lower # < < Upper #
![Page 14: 7.1 Definitions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56812ad3550346895d8eb374/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
the probability 1 - (often expressed as the equivalent percentage value) that is the relative frequency of times the confidence interval actually does contain the population parameter, assuming that the estimation process is repeated a large number of times
usually 90%, 95%, or 99% ( = 10%), ( = 5%), ( = 1%)
Degree of Confidence(level of confidence or confidence coefficient)
![Page 15: 7.1 Definitions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56812ad3550346895d8eb374/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Interpreting a Confidence Interval
Correct: We are 95% confident that the interval from 98.08 to 98.32 actually does contain the true value of
. This means that if we were to select many different samples of size 106 and construct the confidence intervals, 95% of them would actually contain the
value of the population mean .
Wrong: There is a 95% chance that the true value of will fall between 98.08 and 98.32.
98.08o < µ < 98.32o

the number on the borderline separating sample statistics that are likely to occur from those that
are unlikely to occur. The number z/2 is a critical
value that is a z score with the property that it separates an area /2 in the right tail of the standard normal distribution.

Calculating E When Is Unknown
If n > 30, we can replace in Formula 6-1 by the sample standard deviation s.
If n 30, the population must have a normal distribution and we must know to use Formula 6-1.

Confidence Interval (or Interval Estimate)
for Population Mean µ(Based on Large Samples: n >30)
![Page 34: 7.1 Definitions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56812ad3550346895d8eb374/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Procedure for Constructing a Confidence Interval for µ
( Based on a Large Sample: n > 30 )
1. Find the critical value z2 that corresponds to the desired degree of confidence.
3. Find the values of x - E and x + E. Substitute thosevalues in the general format of the confidenceinterval:
4. Round using the confidence intervals roundoff rules.
x - E < µ < x + E
2. Evaluate the margin of error E = z2 • / n . If the population standard deviation is unknown, use the value of the sample standard deviation s provided that n > 30.

Example: A study found the body temperatures of 106 healthy adults. The sample mean was 98.2 degrees and the sample standard deviation was 0.62 degrees. Find the margin of error E and the 95% confidence interval.
![Page 36: 7.1 Definitions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56812ad3550346895d8eb374/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Example: A study found the body temperatures of 106 healthy adults. The sample mean was 98.2 degrees and the sample standard deviation was 0.62 degrees. Find the margin of error E and the 95% confidence interval.
x - E < < x + E

Example: A study found the body temperatures of 106 healthy adults. The sample mean was 98.2 degrees and the sample standard deviation was 0.62 degrees. Find the margin of error E and the 95% confidence interval.
Based on the sample provided, the confidence interval for the population mean
is 98.08o < < 98.32o. If we were to select many different samples of the same size,
95% of the confidence intervals would actually
contain the population mean .
