- The required sample size for the interval estimation of the population mean μ can be computed if we specify the population standard deviation σ, the value of zα/2zα/2based on the confidence level 100(1 − α)% and the desired margin of error E.

- In stratified random sampling, the population is first divided up into mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive groups, called strata. Then simple random samples are drawn from each stratum, which are proportional to the stratum’s size in the population.

CLUSTER SAMPLING WITH ESTIMATION Suppose a population of size N is divided into K- N/M groups of size M. We select a sample of size n -km the following way: » First we select k groups out of K groups by simple random sampling . We then select m units in each group selected on the first step by simple random sampling . The estimate of the population mean is the average Y of the sample. Let μί be the...
A random sample of size n = 50 is taken from a population with mean μ = −9.5 and standard deviation σ = 2. [You may find it useful to reference the z table.] a. Calculate the expected value and the standard error for the sampling distribution of the sample mean. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round "expected value" to 1 decimal place and "standard deviation" to 4 decimal places.) b. What is the probability that...
