The amount of bleach a machine pours into bottles has a mean of 50 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.25 ounces.Suppose we take a random sample of 36 bottles filled by this machine.The sampling distribution of the sample mean has a standard error of 0.25 ounces.
Sampling Distribution
The likelihood distribution derived from a certain statistic using a random sample.
Standard Error
Standard error measures the dispersion or accuracy of sample statistics compared to the true population parameter, usually in mean calculations.
Random Sample
A subset of individuals chosen from a larger set (population) where each individual has an equal chance of being selected.
- Estimate the standard error of the mean for samples taken from populations considered to be infinite or large.
