central limit theorem Flashcards
chapter 6
central limit theorem
stipulates that a distribution of means will be closer to a normal distribution than distribution of individual scores, even if that’s not seen in the population
minimum amount of scores needed to take average, for CLT to apply
30
a distribution of means is less variable…
than a distribution of individual scores
2 principles demonstrated by the theorem
distribution of means is less variable; repeated sampling approximates a normal distribution even when population is not normally distributed
distribution of means
charting a distribution based on means of multiple scores, instead of each single score
the larger the sample size
the smaller the range of distribution of means
what is a sample size in CLT
the amount of individual scores used to make each mean ???????
formula of standard error
Om = O/raiz de N
repeated sampling
sampling with replacement
process of standardization
convert to z scores
standard deviation of a distribution of means
standard error
