Confidence Intervals
... Suppose we take a 6-sided die, and we throw it n times. We know that the probability distribution for a die is not normal – it is discrete and uniform. But what is the distribution of the sample mean? Notice that you’re much more likely to get a sample mean close to true mean (3.5) than a sample mea ...

... In the typical modern statistics textbook, subject matter is presented in an orderly, systematic way. For each new topic, representative examples are provided and problems are worked using a polished and ideal approach. Beginning students, however--no matter how bright--do not tend to solve problems ...

... Find the critical z score. Since the sample size is large, the sampling distribution will be roughly normal in shape. Therefore, we can express the critical value as a z score. For this problem, it will be the z score having a cumulative probability equal to 0.975. Then, using an online calculator ( ...

... You are interested in determining which of two brands of tires (call them Brand G and Brand F) last longer under differing conditions of use. Fifty Toyota Camrys are fitted with Brand G tires and 50 Honda Accords are fitted with Brand F tires. Each tire is driven 20,000 miles, and tread wear is meas ...
