ten samples of a process measuring the number of returns per 200 receipts were taken for a local retail store. the number of returns were 10, 9, 11, 7, 3, 12, 8, 4, 6, and 11. find the standard deviation of the sampling distribution for the p-bar chart.



Answer :

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 0.0608.

What is standard deviation?

Standard Deviation is a measure which shows how much variation (such as spread, dispersion, spread,) from the mean exists. The standard deviation indicates a “typical” deviation from the mean. It is a popular measure of variability because it returns to the original units of measure of the data set.

p≈ N(p,[tex]\frac{\sqrt{p(1-p)} }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex])

For given problem, we will use the formula as

[tex]p' =X/n[/tex]

We have n = 200,  

[tex]p_{1} =10/200[/tex] = 0.05

Similarly the value for next numbers are

0.045, 0.055, 0.035, 0.015, 0.06, 0.04, 0.03, 0.055.

Now p' = 0.045+0.055+0.035+ 0.015+0.06+ 0.04+0.03+0.055+0.050

= 0.0385

Now, standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }[/tex]

= √((0.0385* (1 - 0.0385)) / 100

= 0.0608
