because the population distribution is skewed, the principal is considering using the median number of absences last month instead of the mean number of absences to summarize the distribution. describe how the principal could use a simulation to estimate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample median for random samples of size 50

Respuesta :

The simulation to estimate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample median for random samples of size 50 is given as follows:

  • A for loop with 50 iterations.
  • For each iteration, a sample is selected, then the median is computed and stored in an array.
  • After the 50 iterations, the mean of these medians is computed.
  • After computing the mean, the standard deviation is computed.

What is sampling?

Sampling is a technique for when a group of elements from a population is taken to represent the entire population.

Hence, for this problem, multiple samples of 50 students are taken, and for each sample, the median is computed and then stored in a list, according to the procedure described at the beginning of the answer.

Then, after the entire procedure runs, we will have a sample of 50 values, which represent the median for each sample. Then the standard deviation is calculated as the square root of the sum of the difference squared between each of these observations and the mean of all these observations, divided by 50, which is the cardinality of the data-set.
