... • Let’s say that you want to know the lipid content of a typical corn grain. • You could analyze one grain, but how would you know that you’d picked a “typical” grain? • You’d get a better estimate of “typical” if you increased you sample size to a few hundred grain, or even to 10,000. Or to 1,000,0 ...

Estimating population mean
... 1. Use the range rule of thumb (see Section 2-5) to estimate the standard deviation as follows: σ ≈ range/4. 2. Conduct a pilot study by starting the sampling process. Based on the first collection of at least 31 randomly selected sample values, calculate the sample standard deviation s and use it i ...

Example: You wish to estimate the average number of housing starts
... A real estate agent claims that the average house size in a city is 2,500 square feet. You take a random sample of 225 houses in that city measuring the size of the houses in thousands of square feet. You find a sample mean and standard deviation of 2400 and 200 respectively. At a 5% level of signif ...
