Statistical Inference
  • The purpose of statistical inference is to obtain
    information about a population from information
    contained in a sample.
  • A population is the set of all the elements of
    interest.
  • A sample is a subset of the population.
  • The sample results provide only estimates of the
    values of the population characteristics.
  • A parameter is a numerical characteristic of a
    population.
  • With proper sampling methods, the sample results
    will provide good estimates of the population
    characteristics.

3
Simple Random Sampling
  • A simple random sample from a finite population
    of size N is a sample selected such that each
    possible sample of size n has the same
    probability of being selected.
  • Replacing each sampled element before selecting
    subsequent elements is called sampling with
    replacement.
  • Sampling without replacement is the procedure
    used most often.
  • In large sampling projects, computer-generated
    random numbers are often used to automate the
    sample selection process.
  • Finite Population

4
Simple Random Sampling
  • A simple random sample from an infinite
    population is a sample selected such that the
    following conditions are satisfied.
  • Each element selected comes from the same
    population.
  • Each element is selected independently.
  • The population is usually considered infinite if
    it involves an ongoing process that makes listing
    or counting every element impossible.
  • The random number selection procedure cannot be
    used for infinite populations.
  • Infinite Population

5
Point Estimation
  • In point estimation we use the data from the
    sample to compute a value of a sample statistic
    that serves as an estimate of a population
    parameter.
  • We refer to as the point estimator of the
    population mean ?.
  • s is the point estimator of the population
    standard deviation ?.
  • p is the point estimator of the population
    proportion ?.

6
Sampling Error
  • The absolute difference between an unbiased point
    estimate and the corresponding population
    parameter is called the sampling error.
  • Sampling error is the result of using a subset of
    the population (the sample), and not the entire
    population to develop estimates.
  • The sampling errors are
  • for sample mean
  • for sample standard deviation
  • for sample proportion

7
Example St. Edwards
  • St. Edwards University receives 900
    applications
  • annually from prospective students. The
    application
  • forms contain a variety of information including
    the
  • individuals scholastic aptitude test (SAT) score
    and
  • whether or not the individual is an in-state
    resident.
  • The director of admissions would like to know,
    at
  • least roughly, the following information
  • the average SAT score for the applicants, and
  • the proportion of applicants that are in-state
    residents.
  • We will now look at two alternatives for
    obtaining
  • the desired information.

8
Example St. Andrews
  • Alternative 1 Take a Census of the 900
    Applicants
  • SAT Scores
  • Population Mean
  • Population Standard Deviation
  • In-State Residents
  • Population Proportion

9
Example St. Edwards
  • Alternative 2 Take a Sample of 30 Applicants
  • Excel can be used to select a simple random
    sample without replacement.
  • The process is based on random numbers generated
    by Excels RAND function.
  • RAND function generates numbers in the interval
    from 0 to 1.
  • Any number in the interval is equally likely.
  • The numbers are actually values of a uniformly
    distributed random variable.

10
Example St. Edwards
  • Using Excel to Select a Simple Random Sample
  • 900 random numbers are generated, one for each
    applicant in the population.
  • Then we choose the 30 applicants corresponding to
    the 30 smallest random numbers as our sample.
  • Each of the 900 applicants have the same
    probability of being included.

Example St. Andrews
  • Point Estimates
  • as Point Estimator of ?
  • s as Point Estimator of ?
  • p as Point Estimator of ?
  • Note Different random numbers would have
  • identified a different sample which would have
    resulted in different point estimates.

Example St. Andrews, Sampling Errors

Sampling Distribution of
  • The sampling distribution of is the
    probability distribution of all possible values
    of the sample
  • mean .
  • If there are 200 students in this room (N 200),
    and I want to select a sample of 30 students (n
    30), how many different samples of n 30 are
    possible?

18
Sampling Distribution of
  • The sampling distribution of is the
    probability distribution of all possible values
    of the sample
  • mean .


19
Sampling Distribution of
  • The sampling distribution of is the
    probability distribution of all possible values
    of the sample
  • mean .

Sampling Distribution of

  • Finite Population Infinite
    Population
  • A finite population is treated as being infinite
    if n/N lt .05.
  • is the finite correction
    factor.
  • is referred to as the standard error of the
    mean.

22
Sampling Distribution of
  • If we use a large simple random sample, the
    central limit theorem enables us to conclude that
    the sampling distribution of can be
    approximated by a normal probability
    distribution.

23
Central Limit Theorem
  • We can apply the Central Limit Theorem
  • Even if the population is not normal,
  • sample means from the population will be
    approximately normal as long as the sample size
    is large enough

24
Central Limit Theorem
the sampling distribution becomes almost normal
regardless of shape of population
As the sample size gets large enough
n?
25
How Large is Large Enough?
  • For most distributions, n 30 will give a
    sampling distribution that is nearly normal
  • For fairly symmetric distributions, n 15 is
    sufficient
  • For normal population distributions, the sampling
    distribution of the mean is always normally
    distributed
  • When the simple random sample is small (n lt 30),
    the sampling distribution of can be
    considered normal only if we assume the
    population has a normal probability distribution.

26
Example St. Andrews
  • Sampling Distribution of for the SAT Scores

27
Example St. Andrews
  • Sampling Distribution of for the SAT Scores
  • What is the probability that a simple random
    sample of 30 applicants will provide an estimate
    of the population mean SAT score that is within
    plus or minus 10 of the actual population mean ?
    ?
  • In other words, what is the probability that
    will be between 980 and 1000?

Working With Proportions
  • ? the proportion of the population having some
    characteristic.
  • Where
  • ? Population proportion
  • X Number of items in the population
    with the characteristic of interest
  • N Population size

31

  • Sample Proportion
  • Where
  • p Sample proportion
  • x Number of items in the sample
    with the
    characteristic of interest
  • n Sample size

32
Sampling Distribution of p
  • The sampling distribution of p is the probability
    distribution of all possible values of the sample
    proportion
  • Expected Value of p
  • where
  • ? the population proportion

33
Sampling Distribution of p
  • Standard Deviation of p
  • Finite Population Infinite Population
  • is referred to as the standard error of the
    proportion.
  • A finite population is treated as being infinite
    if n/N lt .05.

34
Sampling Distribution of p
  • The sampling distribution of p can be
    approximated by a normal probability distribution
    whenever the sample size is large.
  • Two conditions for a large sample size

Example St. Andrews
  • Sampling Distribution of p for In-State Residents
  • The normal probability distribution is an
    acceptable approximation since n? 30(.72)
    21.6 gt 5 and
  • n(1 - ?) 30(.28) 8.4 gt 5.


37
Example St. Andrews
  • Sampling Distribution of p for In-State Residents
  • What is the probability that a simple random
    sample of 30 applicants will provide an estimate
    of the population proportion of applicants who
    are in-state residents that is within plus or
    minus .05 of the actual population proportion?
  • In other words, what is the probability that p
  • will be between .67 and .77?

Sampling and Sampling Distributions
  • The mean weight of the students at UCF is 150
    pounds with a standard deviation of 15, and
  • the proportion of the student body that exercises
    at least 3 times per week is .65
  • If enrollment is 48,000 students and I select a
    random sample of 30 students,
  • What is the probability that the sample mean will
    be within 5 pounds of the population mean?
  • What is the probability that the sample
    proportion will be within .05 of the population
    proportion?
