A random sample is selected from a population with mean $\mu=100$ and standard deviation $\sigma=10 .$ Determine the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of $\bar{x}$ for each of the following sample sizes:
a. $n=9$
d. $n=50$
b. $n=15$
e. $n=100$
c. $n=36$
f. $n=400$

Key Concepts

Standard Error

Standard error is the measure of the dispersion or variability of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. It is calculated as the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. This metric quantifies how much the sample mean is likely to fluctuate from the true population mean from one sample to another.

Population Parameters

Population parameters, such as the mean and standard deviation, are fixed numerical characteristics of the entire population. They provide the baseline values from which the properties of the sampling distribution are derived, with the population mean being the expected value of the sample mean and the population standard deviation being used in computing the standard error.

Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean

This concept refers to the probability distribution of all possible sample means obtained from samples of a fixed size drawn from the population. It characterizes the central tendency and variability of the sample mean as a statistic and is foundational for making inferences about the population mean.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem is a fundamental principle in probability and statistics stating that, regardless of the original population distribution, the sampling distribution of the sample mean will tend toward a normal distribution as the sample size increases. This theorem allows us to use normal probability theory to approximate the behavior of the sample mean for sufficiently large samples.
