BVD Chapter 16: Random Variables
... The term expected value is code for the mean. Since these distributions represent all possible values, we use to represent the mean of the variable. Believe it or not, the formula for finding the mean of a discrete random variable is the same as that for the sample mean of a data set…though they l ...

Example: Intuit Behavior of Sample Mean
... to know the population mean and standard deviation, what behavior can we expect from sample means for repeated samples of a given size? Step 2: Work backward---if sample mean for a sample of a certain size is observed to take a specified value, what can we conclude about the value of the unknown p ...

Supplement #1B
... Suppose that you wish to estimate the population mean mX of a random variable X given a sample of observations. We will demonstrate that the sample mean is an unbiased estimator, but not the only one. EMU, ECON 503, M. Balcılar ...
