central limit theorem Flashcards
1
Q
distribution of sample means
A
form normal distribution
looks same as normal distribution for individuals within a group
each sample has mix of scores and high cancelled out by low
sd around sample means is smaller than population means
2
Q
is the sample is large or population is normally distributed then
A
an infinite number of sample means plotted form a normal distribution
3
Q
sample distribution properties
A
sd of sample means smaller than sd of individual pop values
new sd formula
called standard error
4
Q
standard error formula
A
SE = SD/square root n
5
Q
if null hypothesis is not true
A
the sample mean is in the rarest 5 %
