parameter. statistics.
A sampling distribution of
sample means is a frequency
distribution using the means
computed from all possible
random samples of a specific
size taken from a population.
The difference between the
sample mean and the
population mean is called the
sampling error. It is error due
to sampling.
The sample mean is a random
variable which depends on a
particular sample.
The probability distribution of
the sample means is also called
the sampling distribution of the
sample means.
The number of samples
of size n that can be
drawn from a
population of size
N is given by 𝑁 .
𝐶𝑛
Steps in Constructing the Sampling
Distribution of the Means
1.Determine the number of possible
samples that can be drawn from a
population using the formula:
𝐶𝑛
𝑁
Where N = size of the population
n= size of the sample
2. List all the possible
samples and compute the
mean of each sample.
3. Construct a frequency
distribution of the sample
means obtained in step 2.
Example 1.
A population consist of the
numbers 2, 4, 9,10, and 5
with the sample size 3 from
this population. Compute
the mean of each sample.
➢ The number of samples of
size n that can be drawn
from a population of size N
is given by 𝑁 .

✓ There are 10 possible
samples of size 3 that can
be drawn from the given
population.
