PERFORMANCE TASK IN STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

I. Title: Sampling Distribution of the Sample and Estimation of Parameter

II. Objectives:
a. To learn and appreciate the principle of Normal distribution, Sampling Distribution and
Estimation of Parameter.
b. To apply in actual settings and conditions.
c. To formulate and calculate the distribution of certain phenomena or events and to
discover the statistical properties of the particular event in terms of the Mean, Variance
and Standard Deviation.
III. Procedure:
A. Choose from A to C and get a record.
1. Size of Shoes
2. Wake up Time during School Days
3. State of Happiness (1-10)
STEM A (37) – STEM B (38)
ABM A (42) – ABM B/HUMSS (51)
TVL (45) – TVL (45)

B. Make a list of size of shoes,/wake up time/ state of happiness of students.

E. Compute for the average or mean, 𝐱̅ , variance and the standard deviation
(Calculator or Microsoft excel is allowed)
Ex. x̅ = 82.24 and 𝜎𝑥 = 5.3669

F. Make at least 20 random samples of the variables taken three at a time and compute
for the average or mean for each sample.
Ex.

I. Compute for the Average, Variance and Standard Deviation (Take Note: Sample
Data and Not Population Data)
𝑥̅ (Mean) = 82.65, 𝜎𝑥̅ (Sample Standard Deviation) = 6.2683
𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑒. These are approximate values

J. Answer the following questions.

1. Describe the result of your chart in D?
2. Describe the result of your chart in H?
3. Compare the results in E and I, do the results reflect the characteristics of each other?
4. What do you think is the source of difference or error on the results of E and I?
5. Determine the point estimate and the confidence interval.
6. Reflect on your estimation. Are you confident about it. To what extent are you
confident? Express your confidence as percentage.
