• In practice, parameter values are not known.
• They are estimated using sample observations.
• Parameter values are fixed.
• Values of statistic varies sample to sample.
• Unbiased Estimate
 If E(statistic) = parameter,
 then the statistic is said to be unbiased estimate of
the parameter.
 Sample mean is an unbiased estimate of population
mean.

QAM – II by Gaurav Garg (IIM Lucknow)

• Let us consider the following population of size 4:
• 18, 20, 22, 24
• Population mean = (18 + 20 + 22 + 24)/ 4 = 21
• Population Variance
• = [(18-21)2 + (20-21) 2 + (22-21) 2 + (24-21) 2] / 4 = 5
• Consider all possible samples of size 2
• Obtain sample mean and sample variance of all the
samples.
• Sample mean is an unbiased estimate of population
mean.
• This means that the average of all sample means
equals population mean.

 Sampling Distributions
• Unknown parameters are estimated using sample
observations.
• Parameter values are fixed.
• Values of statistic varies sample to sample.
• Each sample has some probability of being chosen.
• Each value of a statistic is associated with a probability.
• Statistic is a random variable.
• Distribution of a statistic is called sampling distribution.
• Distribution of a statistic may not be the same as the
distribution of population.

• The value of the sample mean depends on the chosen
sample.
• Each sample is chosen with certain probability.
• So, each possible value of sample mean is associated
with some probability.
• Distribution of sample mean is the list of all possible
values along with corresponding probabilities.

• In other words, the statistic x (sample mean)
can be considered as a random variable.

 Standard Error
• Different samples of the same size from the same
population will yield different sample means.
• A measure of the variability in different values of
sample mean is given by the Standard Error of the
sample mean.
standard error ( x )   x  Var( x )   n
• Standard error of a statistic is the standard deviation
of its distribution.
• In our example,  x  2.5  1.5811
• Standard error decreases when sample size is
increased.

 Central Limit Theorem
• When population distribution is N(μ, σ),

• then x ~ N  ,  n . 
• When the population distribution is not normal,

• then also x ~ N  ,  n , provided n→∞. 
• Practically, this result is true for n ≥ 30.

• Example:
• Suppose a population has mean μ = 8 and standard
deviation σ = 3.
• Suppose a random sample of size n = 36 is selected.
• What is the probability that the sample mean is
between 7.75 and 8.25?
• Even if the population is not normally distributed,
the central limit theorem can be used (n > 30).
• So, the distribution of the sample mean is
approximately N(8, 3/6).
• i.e, x ~ N (8, 3 / 6)
P[7.75  x  8.25]  ?
QAM – II by Gaurav Garg (IIM Lucknow)
 Sampling Distribution of Proportion
(or Distribution of Sampling Proportion)
• Let us consider that the population is divided into
two mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive
classes.

• One class possesses a particular attribute,

• Other class does not posses that attribute.

• For example a people in a city could be divided into

“Smokers” and “Non-smokers”.
QAM – II by Gaurav Garg (IIM Lucknow)
• Let
 N= population size
 X= no. of people out of N possessing a particular
attribute
 𝝅= Actual proportion of the people possessing a
particular attribute = X/N

• Let a sample is selected from this population.

 n= sample size
 x= no. of people in the sample possessing a
particular attribute
 p= x/n = sample proportion

QAM – II by Gaurav Garg (IIM Lucknow)

• X,𝝅 are population parameters.
• x, p are sample statistics.
• p provides an estimate of𝝅.
• Note that, x ~ B(n, 𝝅)
• E(x) = n𝝅, Var(x) = n𝝅(1 – 𝝅 ),
• This implies that
• E(p) = E(x/n) = 𝝅,
• Var(p) = Var(x/n) = n𝝅(1 – 𝝅 )/n2 = 𝝅(1 – 𝝅 )/n.
• Standard error (p) = √[Var(p)] = √[𝝅(1 – 𝝅 )/n]

QAM – II by Gaurav Garg (IIM Lucknow)

• When the sample size n is large enough,
x  n
Z ~ N (0,1)
n (1   )
p 
or Z ~ N (0,1)
 (1   ) n

• This is a particular case of central limit theorem.

• Practically, this result is true for 𝑛 ≥ 30.
• Or, when 𝑛𝝅 ≥ 5 as well as 𝑛(1 – 𝝅 ) ≥ 5.

QAM – II by Gaurav Garg (IIM Lucknow)

• Example:
• If the true proportion of voters who support ABC party
is 0.4.
• What is the probability that a sample of size 200 yields a
sample proportion between 0.40 and 0.45?
• 𝝅 = 0.4, 1 - 𝝅 = 1 – 0.4 = 0.6
• n = 200.
• Pr[ 0.40 < p < 0.45 ] =?
•
p 
Z ~ N (0,1)

 Finite Population Correction
• For the application of central limit theorem, we
assumed that the sample size n is large.
• If the population size N is small, sample size n can
not be sufficiently large.
• And we can not apply central limit theorem.
• In this situation, we multiply the standard error by
Finite Population Correction (fpc),
• which is given by N n
fpc 
N 1
• Clearly, when N → ∞, fpc → 1.

• Thus

 Degree of Freedom
• Assume four numbers: a, b, c, and d,
• such that, a+b+c+d = m.
• You are free to vary any 3 numbers.
• But 4th one must be chosen so that sum is m.
• Thus your degree of freedom is 3.
• The no. of independent observations which make up a
statistic, is known as the degrees of freedom (d.f.)
associated with that statistic.
• d.f. is the number of values in the final calculation of a
statistic that are free to vary.
• d.f. of a statistic
= (no. of independent observations) – (no. of parameters estimated)
