Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the standard deviation of the sample mean (\bar{x}) using the formula: \[ \text{Standard deviation of } \bar{x} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \] where: - \(\sigma\) is the population standard deviation - \(n\) is the sample size Show more…

When the population has a normal dis 1e estimator $$ \hat{\sigma}=\operatorname{median}\left(\left|X_{1}-\bar{X}\right| \cdot\left|X_{2}-\bar{X}\right|, \ldots,\left|X_{n}-\bar{X}\right|\right) / 0.6745 $$ is sometimes used to estimate the population standard deviation. This estimator is more robust to outliers than the usual sample standard deviation and usually does not differ much from $S$ when there are no unusual observations. (a) Calculate $\hat{\sigma}$ and $S$ for the data 10,12,9,14,18,15 , and 16 (b) Replace the first observation in the sample ( 10 ) with 50 and recalculate both $S$ and $\hat{\sigma}$.

If a sample of size is drawn from the population for sufficiently large sample sizes ( n ≥ 30 ), the are approximately normally distributed regardless of the shape of the population distribution : population means sample variance sample mean
