  29. Central Limit Theorem Using it for Statistical Inference

  30. Central Limit Theorem: In Words 16,000,000 For any normal distribution: 14,000,000 1. The sampling distribution 12,000,000 10,000,000 (the distributions of x-bars 8,000,000 from all possible samples) 6,000,000 is also a normal distribution 4,000,000 2,000,000 2. The mean of the x-bars is 0 actually µ 3. The standard deviation of the x-bars is actually σ/√n

  31. Central Limit Theorem: In Formulas ….where µ x-bars =µ • n is the sample size σ x-bars =σ/√n • µ is the mean of the x distribution (population mean), and • σ is the standard x-bar - µ x-bars x-bar - µ z= = deviation of the x σ x-bars σ/√n distribution (population standard deviation)

  32. Central Limit Theorem: In Formulas ….where µ x-bars =µ • n is the sample size σ x-bars =σ/√n • Note: Only works when n≥30! • µ is the mean of the x distribution (population z= = mean), and x-bar - µ x-bars x-bar - µ • σ is the standard σ x-bars σ/√n deviation of the x distribution (population standard deviation) The standard error is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution. For the x- bar sampling distribution, standard error (SE) = σ/√ n

  33. Central Limit Theorem 30 1. If the distribution of x is x distribution normal, then the 20 distribution of x-bar is 10 also normal. 0 20,000,000 x-bar distribution 10,000,000 0

  34. Central Limit Theorem 1. If the distribution of x is 30 x distribution normal, then the 20 distribution of x-bar is also normal. 10 2. Even if the distribution of x 0 is NOT normal, as long as n≥ 30, the Central Limit 20,000,000 Theorem says that the x- x-bar distribution bar distribution is 10,000,000 approximately normal. 0

  35. Central Limit Theorem 1. If the distribution of x is 30 x distribution normal, then the 20 distribution of x-bar is also normal. 10 2. Even if the distribution of x 0 is NOT normal, as long as n≥ 30, the Central Limit 20,000,000 Theorem says that the x- x-bar distribution bar distribution is 10,000,000 approximately normal. 0 A sample statistic is considered unbiased if the mean of its sampling distribution equals the parameter being estimated.
