Tests of Hypotheses Using Statistics
... The method of hypothesis testing uses tests of significance to determine the likelihood that a statement (often related to the mean or variance of a given distribution) is true, and at what likelihood we would, as statisticians, accept the statement as true. While understanding the mathematical conc ...

The Population Standard Deviation
... The results vary from a low of 9.969 mL to a high of 9.994 mL. This 0.025-mL spread of data results directly from an accumulation of all random uncertainties in the experiment. The spread in a set of replicate measurements can be defined as the difference between the highest and lowest result. The f ...
