  1. Last Time • Q-Q plots • Q-Q Envelope to understand variation • Applications of Normal Distribution • Population Modeling • Measurement Error • Law of Averages • Part 1: Square root law for s.d. of average • Part 2: Central Limit Theorem Averages tend to normal distribution

  2. Reading In Textbook Approximate Reading for Today’s Material: Pages 61-62, 66-70, 59-61, 335-346 Approximate Reading for Next Class: Pages 322-326, 337-344, 488-498

  3. Applications of Normal Dist’n • Population Modeling Often want to make statements about: • The population mean, μ • The population standard deviation, σ Based on a sample from the population Which often follows a Normal distribution Interesting Question: How accurate are estimates? (will develop methods for this)

  4. Applications of Normal Dist’n • Measurement Error Model measurement X = μ + e When additional accuracy is required, can make several measurements, and average to enhance accuracy Interesting question: how accurate? (depends on number of observations, …) (will study carefully & quantitatively)

  5. Random Sampling Useful model in both settings 1 & 2: Set of random variables Assume: a. Independent b. Same distribution Say: are a “random sample”

  6. Law of Averages Law of Averages, Part 1: Averaging increases accuracy, by factor of

  7. Law of Averages Recall Case 1: CAN SHOW: Law of Averages, Part 2 So can compute probabilities, etc. using: • NORMDIST • NORMINV

  8. Law of Averages Case 2: any random sample CAN SHOW, for n “large” is “roughly” Consequences: • Prob. Histogram roughly mound shaped • Approx. probs using Normal • Calculate probs, etc. using: • NORMDIST • NORMINV

  9. Law of Averages Case 2: any random sample CAN SHOW, for n “large” is “roughly” Terminology: • “Law of Averages, Part 2” • “Central Limit Theorem” (widely used name)
