Change the sample size, n, to see the change in the shape of the distribution for x-
bar. Data are selected from a normal distribution with a mean of 100 and a
standard deviation of 100. The shape of this distribution is represented by the
pink line on the graph. 500 values of x-bar, the average of the n observations are
calculated based on randomly generated data. The bars in the graph represent the
histogram for these data. Changing the value of n illustrates how the distribution
of the sample mean, x-bar, changes. If n=1 then each sample consists of a single
value and the distribution of the bars vary from the pink curve due to random
variability. As the sample size gets bigger the spread of the distribution gets
smaller. The middle, as measured by the mean, does not change. A black line is
displayed to show the theoretical distribution of the sample mean based on the
normal distribution. This distribution is a normal distribution with a mean of 100
and a standard deviation of 100/n.5. New sets of sample data can generated by
pushing the F9 key at the top of the keyboard.
