Normal Populations
Important Fact: If the population is normally distributed,
then the sampling distribution of x is normally distributed for any sample size n.

The Central Limit Theorem(for the sample mean x)
If a random sample of n observations is selected from a population (any population), then when n is sufficiently large, the sampling distribution of x will be approximately normal.
(The larger the sample size, the better will be the normal approximation to the sampling distribution of x.)

The Importance of the Central Limit Theorem
When we select simple random samples of size n, the sample means we find will vary from sample to sample. We can model the distribution of these sample means with a probability model that is
,Nn

How Large Should n Be?
For the purpose of applying the central limit theorem, we will consider a sample size to be large when n > 30.

The Central Limit Theorem(for the sample proportion p)
If a random sample of n observations is selected from a population (any population), and x “successes” are observed, then when n is sufficiently large, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion p will be approximately a normal distribution.

Example 2 The probability distribution of 6-month
incomes of account executives has mean $20,000 and standard deviation $5,000.
a) A single executive’s income is $20,000. Can it be said that this executive’s income exceeds 50% of all account executive incomes?
ANSWER No. P(X<$20,000)=? No information given about shape of distribution of X; we do not know the median of 6-mo incomes.

Example 3 (cont.)
c. Do we need the Central Limit Theorem to solve part a or part b?
NO. We are given that the population is normal, so the sampling distribution of the mean will also be normal for any sample size n. The CLT is not needed.

Example 5Cans of salmon are supposed to have a
net weight of 6 oz. The canner says that the net weight is a random variable with mean =6.05 oz. and stand. dev. =.18 oz.
Suppose you take a random sample of 36 cans and calculate the sample mean weight to be 5.97 oz.
Find the probability that the mean weight of the sample is less than or equal to 5.97 oz.
![Page 22: THE CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM The World is Normal Theorem.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/551a888e550346b52d8b5a10/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Population X: amount of salmon in a canE(x)=6.05 oz, SD(x) = .18 oz
X sampling dist: E(x)=6.05 SD(x)=.18/6=.03 By the CLT, X sampling dist is approx. normal P(X 5.97) = P(z [5.97-6.05]/.03)
=P(z -.08/.03)=P(z -2.67)= .0038
How could you use this answer?
![Page 23: THE CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM The World is Normal Theorem.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/551a888e550346b52d8b5a10/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Suppose you work for a “consumer watchdog” group
If you sampled the weights of 36 cans and obtained a sample mean x 5.97 oz., what would you think?
Since P( x 5.97) = .0038, either– you observed a “rare” event (recall: 5.97
oz is 2.67 stand. dev. below the mean) and the mean fill E(x) is in fact 6.05 oz. (the value claimed by the canner)
– the true mean fill is less than 6.05 oz., (the canner is lying ).
![Page 24: THE CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM The World is Normal Theorem.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/551a888e550346b52d8b5a10/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Example 6 X: weekly income. E(X)=1050, SD(X) = 100 n=64; X sampling dist: E(X)=1050
SD(X)=100/8 =12.5
P(X 1022)=P(z [1022-1050]/12.5)
=P(z -28/12.5)=P(z -2.24) = .0125
Suspicious of claim that average is $1050; evidence is that average income is less.
