Use the pop-up questions to guide the content and breadth of your response. Do not copy information out of your text.

  2. Click Mouse Mean = m S.D. = where, End Sampling Distribution of the Mean • Draw random samples of size n from the population. • Compute and cumulate means for each sample. How will the sample means be related to the population mean? If you were to build a frequency distribution using the sample means, what do you think the distribution would look like? • Using the means, build a frequency distribution. What characteristics (i.e., center, spread, and shape) will each of the random samples tend to have? Why do you think that the sampling distribution of means tends to be normally distributed and why is this important? Go to Question Summary Population Sampling Distribution of the Means
