Estimating a Population Mean I
... she jogs 2 miles and she has a random sample of 90 ofthese times. In the recording she has a mean x = 15.5 minutes. Let [i bethe mean of all jogging times ofJulia's 2 miles running time. Find the 95% confidence interval for her time mean \i. p is the best point estimate for population proportion p x ...

If we take all possible samples of N = 100 from a given population, the resulting distribution of the sample means have X = The distribution would be normally distributed with a standard deviation known as standard error of mean (or simply the standard error). The standard error is symbolized as S ...

... Parameters and Statistics As we begin to use sample data to draw conclusions about a wider population, we must be clear about whether a number describes a sample or a population. A parameter is a number that describes some characteristic of the population. In statistical practice, the value of a pa ...

Epidemiology and Biostatistics Notes
... Criteria for causality are: 1. Strength of Association- The greater the magnitude of the increased risk the less likely that the relationship is due to an uncontrolled confounding variable. e.g. Individuals who smoke 20+ cig/day have a risk of mortality from laryngeal cancer that is 20 times higher ...
