Population Mean and Standard Deviation

In a population with N members Population mean: µ = x1 + x2 + . . . + xN N Population standard deviation: σ =

  • (µ − x1)2 + (µ − x2)2 + . . . + (µ − xN)2

Example 9.15

We generate a sequence of random numbers: 5, 5, 2, 9, 1, 0, 4, 5, 3, 1, 2, 4, 1, 6, 6, 9, 1, 7 To choose our sample: 66 64 62 64 66 64 62 64 66 63 x = 66 + 64 + 62 + 64 + 66 + 64 + 62 + 64 + 66 + 63 10 = 64.1 s =

  • (64.1 − 66)2 + (64.1 − 64)2 + . . . + (64.1 − 63)2

10 = 1.45

Standardizing the Normal Distribution

If we are measuring the weights of full-term newborn babies... What does a z-score of −1.75 indicate? What does a z-score of 0.15 indicate? What does a baby in the 85th percentile indicate?

Class Discussion

If we want to determine where UK students live, and we choose every 250th student alphabetically. What is the population? Is the sample random? If Mitch McConnell wants voters opinions of his constituents, is a questionnaire sent to each one likely to be representative

  • f everyone? What if he sends it to a sample of registered

Republicans? If in fact, only 1 in 10 dentists recommend Whito Toothpaste, is it possible for them to advertise that 8 in 10 do? In the shoe business, which average of foot size is most important (mean, median or mode)?
