... sample means are (most likely) not equal but should be “close” to the value of your theoretical mean computed in part (b). The point of this is that the value of the sample mean will vary from sample to sample (for a fixed sample size). Thus the sample mean is also a random variable! We denote this ...

RANDOM VARIABLES: probability distributions, means, variances
... The last two are particularly important as someone may do a study or an experiment. The outcome if numeric is a random variable but would not give the same answer every time. Knowing how the answers are likely to vary can tell us how much we can trust the result. In practice so much work is put done ...

Introduction • The reasoning of statistical inference rests on asking
... A statistic used to estimate a parameter is unbiased if the mean of its sampling distribution is equal to the true value of the parameter being estimated. This means that there is no “systematic tendency” to overestimate or underestimate the parameter, i.e., there is no “bias.” It can be shown mathe ...
