sample distribution of proportions Flashcards
central limit theorem
if some assumptions and conditions are satisfied, the sample distribution of proportions
*is a normal model
*mean = p
*SD(^p) = square root of pq/n
how to find q
q = 1-p
independence assumption
every output is independent of each other
*depends on the 10% and randomization conditions
*used to determine if CLT applies
randomization condition
the sampling method should not be biased
*used to determine if CLT applies
10% condition
the sample size is less than 10% of the population
*used to determine if CLT applies
success/failure condition
np and nq should be >or equal to 10
*used to determine if CLT applies
p-hat is the same as…?
x-bar
how does the sampling distribution model change as the sample size increases?
it becomes narrower as the SD decreases
z-score formula
(sample mean - pop mean)/SD of sample mean
p
population proportion/mean
p-hat
sample proportion/mean
theoretical SD equation using pop SD (SD of sampling distribution)
SD(p-hat) = (pop SD)/root n
n - sample size
*used when not working with percentages
