... happened by random chance. The sample data is probably different because of sampling variability (all random samples are different). Option 1 could be true, meaning we cannot rule out random chance (sampling variability) as a confounding variable. So we will not be able to tell if the population val ...

... Generally the variance of the population under study is unknown. As a result s has to be estimated. The most common sources of estimates for s are: 1. A pilot sample which is drawn from the population and used as an estimate of s. 2. Estimates of s from previous or similar studies. 3. In a normally ...

An Introduction to Statistics
... There are two main branches of statistics: descriptive and inferential. Descriptive statistics is used to say something about a set of information that has been collected only. Inferential statistics is used to make predictions or comparisons about a larger group (a population) using information gat ...

Topic 18: The Central Limit Theorem 41
... In the past two topics you have discovered that sample statistics (such as proportions and means) vary from sample to sample according to a predictable long-run pattern. In many situations, this pattern follows a normal distribution centered at the population parameter. Thus, you can use your knowle ...
