Confidence Intervals with σ unknown

We will generally have some hypotheses about certain parameters of the population (or populations) from which our data arose, and we will be interested in using our data to see whether these hypotheses are consistent with what we have observed.

Confidence interval example
... Suppose we want to estimate the average weight of an adult male in Dekalb County, Georgia. We draw a random sample of 1,000 men from a population of 1,000,000 men and weigh them. We find that the average man in our sample weighs 180 pounds, and the standard deviation of the sample is 30 pounds. What ...

A score (or result of a statistical test) is “Significant” if score is unlikely to occur on basis of chance alo ...
