CHAPTER 05
SAMPLING AND SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION
The sampling distribution of a statistic is the probability distribution of all possible values the
statistic may take when computed from random samples of the sample size, drawn from a
specified population.
PART I
SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE SAMPLE MEAN X
The sampling distribution of X
p
o/ n
or Z =
X
p
s/ n
To fine the values with given the probability, we can use the following the formula
x =p z
o
n
or x =p z

SAMPLE
PROBLEM If the population mean is 1,247, the population variance is 10,000, and the
sample size is 100, what is the probability that X

PART II
SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE SAMPLE PROPORTION P
The sampling distribution of the sample proportion P
`
is based on the binomial distribution with
parameters n and p, where n is the sample size and p is population proportion.
Condition: np >5 and n(1 p) >5
For all instances, we use z Jistribution (standard normal distribution)

SAMPLE
PROBLEM When sampling is done for the proportion of defective items in a large shipment,
where the population proportion is 0.18 and the sample size is 200, what is the
probability that the sample proportion will be at least 0.20?
SOLUTION p =0.18
n =200
_
np =2000.18=36>5
n(1p) =200(1 0.18) =164>5
