Lesson 2: Mean, Variance and Standard Deviation of
the Sampling Distribution of the sample mean
μx = Σ[x̄ • P(x)̄ ]
2. The variance of the sampling distribution of the sample means σ is
given by: σ2 x̄ = Σ[P(x̄) • (x̄ - μ)2] or Σ[x̄2 • P(x̄)] - μ2 or
σ2 x̄ = σ2 • N - n for finite population (without replacement); and
n N - 1
σ2 x̄ = σ2 for infinite population (with replacement)
n
3. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is
given by:
C = N!
N n N = 5 n = 3
n!(N-n)!
There are 10 possible samples of size 3 that can be drawn from the given data.
4. List all possible samples and their corresponding means.
