A sample of n = 64 scores is selected from a population with µ = 80 with σ = 24. On average, how much error is expected between the sample mean and the population mean?

Sagot :

The expected error between the sample mean and the population mean is 3.

In this problem, we have been given :

population mean (μ) = 80,

standard deviation (σ) = 24,  

sample size (n) = 64

We know that,

The Central Limit Theorem states that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean μ and standard deviation σ, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation, which is also called standard error [tex]s=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

We need to find the error between the sample mean and the population mean.

standard error

= σ /√n

= 24 /√64

= 24 / 8

= 3

Therefore, the expected error between the sample mean and the population mean = 3
