... The t density curve is similar in shape to the standard Normal curve. They are both symmetric about 0 and bell-shaped. The spread of the t distributions is a bit greater than that of the standard Normal curve (i.e., the t curve is slightly “fatter”). As the degrees of freedom k increase, the t(k) de ...

The Normal Distribution
... A simple random sample (SRS) is a sample in which every possible sample of the same size has the same chance of being collected. Normally, we will start by using a simple random sample. A stratified sample is used when it is important to have members from multiple segments of the population. Fir ...

Section 8-3
... When we perform inference about a population mean µ using a t distribution, the appropriate degrees of freedom are found by subtracting 1 from the sample size n, making df = n - 1. We will write the t distribution with n - 1 degrees of freedom as tn-1. ...

Each different sample is going to give a different answer. In Statistics we use what we know about the random sampling, and combine that with proba ...
