Mean of sampling distribution
M p hat = p
M x = M
Standard deviation of sampling distribution
Use formula sheet
“Find the probability”
Normalcdf
Purpose of 10% condition
Independent probability and to use standard deviation
Purpose of large count
Normal sampling distribution
Large count condition for a mean
N _> 30
Large count condition for proportion
np _> 10
nq _> 10
If one is satisfied, probably skewed right (plot it)
If both are satisfied, it’s normal
10% condition
10n <_ N
Central limit theorem
As we take many samples, sampling distribution gets closer to parameter and normal
When the % says of all after
Parameter
Z score
Actual-predicted over SD
The variability of a statistic is described by
The spread of the sampling distribution
