Objective:
The leaner should be able to
find the mean, variance and
standard deviation of the
sampling distribution of the
sample mean.
Formula: (for population)
Σ𝑋
𝜇 = (Mean)
𝑁
𝜎² = ΣX²/ N−(ΣX/N)² variance
𝜎 = √ ΣX²/ N−(ΣX)² SD
Formula: (for sampling distribution
of the sample mean)
Mean= Σ(x̄ . P(x̄))
Variance= Σ(x̄ ² . P(x̄ )-𝜇²

SD=√Σ(x̄ ² . P(x̄ )-𝜇²

Example 1.
A population consists of five
values (Php 2, Php 3, Php 4, Php
5, Php 6). A sample size of 2 is to
be taken from this population.
Questions:
A.
1. compute the mean, variance
and standard deviation of the
population.
2. compute the mean, variance
