Question
Answer
show The results of a sample may adequately estimate the value of the population parameter, thus saving time and money  
🗑
show It may be too time consuming to contact all members of the population  
🗑
show It may be impossible to check or locate all the members of the population  
🗑
show The cost of studying all the items in the population may be prohibitive  
🗑
show Often, testing destroys the sampled item and it cannot be returned to the population  
🗑
show A sample selected so that each item or person in the population has the same chance of being included  
🗑
Systematic Random Sampling   show
🗑
show A population is divided into subgroups, called strata, and a sample is randomly selected from each stratum  
🗑
show A population is divided into clusters using naturally occurring geographic or other boundaries. Then, clusters are randomly selected and a sample is collected by randomly selecting from each cluster  
🗑
show The difference between a sample statistic and its corresponding population parameter  
🗑
Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean   show
🗑
show If all samples of a particular size are selected from any population, the sampling distribution of the sample mean is approximately a normal distribution. This approximation improves with larger samples  
🗑
show The fraction, ratio, or percent indicating the part of the sample or the population having a particular trait of interest  
🗑
Sampling Distribution of the Sampling Proportion   show
🗑
show For a given sample size, the mean of all possible sample means selected from a population is equal to the population mean  
🗑
Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean   show
🗑
Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean   show
🗑
Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean   show
🗑
show Assume the population standard deviation is known. To determine the probability that a sample mean falls in a particular region, use the following formula: z=x-bar - mu/(stdev/sqrt(n))  
🗑
show The sampling distribution of the proportion follows a normal distribution if np and n(1-p) >5. 1. The sample proportion is p-bar=x/n  
🗑
show z=p-bar-p/(sqrt(p(1-p))/n)  
🗑
show mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean  
🗑
sigma sub x bar   show
🗑
show estimate of the standard error of the sample mean  
🗑
show population standard error of the sample proportion  
🗑
