The SE is always an estimator of a population characteristic; it is not a descriptive statistic—it is an inferen¬ tial statistic. The SE is an estimate of the ...

How many great point averages does she need to obtain so that the sample mean is within 0.07 from the population mean? Assume that a 95% confidence is desired and the population standard deviation ...

For samples of size n<30, called small samples, this approximation is not and becomes worse with decreasing n, so that appropriate modifications must be made. A study of sampling distribution for small sample is called small s ...
