Study Notes
Numerical Descriptive Measures
- Used to describe population size.
Normal Distribution Overview
- Location and shape described by mean (m) and standard deviation (s).
Binomial Distribution Overview
- Consists of n trials.
- Location and shape determined by probability (p).
Parameters in Distribution
- Unknown values often define the distribution's form.
Sample Reliance on Parameters
- Crucial for understanding parameters.
Statistics Overview
- Calculated numerical descriptive measures.
- Descriptive measures calculated from samples.
Sample Variability in Statistics
- Variations across samples.
- Random variables.
Sampling Distributions in Statistics
Repeated Sampling Overview
- Shows possible values and their frequencies.
Sampling Distribution of Statistics
- Defines the probability distribution of possible statistic values.
- From random samples of size n.
Central Limit Theorem
- Random samples from a non-normal population (with a finite mean and standard deviation).
- Large sample sizes (n) lead to an approximately normal distribution of the sample mean.
- Approximation improves as sample size (n) increases.
Central Limit Theorem (Alternative)
- Sum of n measurements is approximately normal.
- Involves mean (nm) and standard deviation.
Statistical Inference Statistics
- Deals with sums or averages of sample measurements.
Nearly Normal Distributions in Large Statistics
Understanding Behavior and Inference Reliability
- Describe behavior and evaluate inference reliability.
Normal Sample Distribution
- Guarantees a normal sampling distribution, regardless of sample size.
Sample Population Distribution
- Approximately symmetrical for sample populations.
- Becomes normal for small sample sizes (n).
Skewed Sample Population Requirement
- Sample size must be at least 30.
- Distribution must approach normality.
Random Sample Selection
- n-sized sample from a population with mean (m) and standard deviation (s).
Sample Sampling Distribution
- Mean: m
- Standard deviation: -1 (note: this is likely a typo/missing information)
Normal Population Distribution
- Normal sampling distribution for all sample sizes.
Sampling Distribution Normality in Nonnormal Populations
- Normal distribution observed with large sample sizes (n).
Standard Deviation of x-Bar
- Also known as Standard Error (SE).
Standardizing Interval of Interest
- If sampling distribution is normal or similar.
- Rescale the interval of interest.
Selecting Random Sample from Binomial Population
- Sample size (n).
