... Statistical Inference for the Mean We may decide to take some action on the basis of the test of significance. But we can never be completely certain we are taking the right action. Type I error is to reject the null hypothesis when it is true. In the case of a mean, this occurs when the null hypot ...

Estimates of Population Parameters
... The Sampling Distribution of p̂ We construct interval estimates for p in much the same way as our confidence intervals for a mean. We can calculate p̂ and use it as the center of our interval and then add a margin of error above and below p̂ . The experiment of drawing a sample of n objects and cou ...

Estimating the population mean µ using the sample mean X
... distribution of sample means is the distribution that results when we find the means of all possible samples of a given size n. ! Technically, this distribution is approximately normal, and the larger the sample size, the closer to normal it is. ...

... The company plans to construct a 90 percent confidence interval to estimate the current percent and wants the margin of error to be no more than 4.5 percentage points. Assuming that at least 68 percent of adults use the Internet, what inequality should be used to find the sample size (n) needed? ...

Calculating the confidence intervals assumes that the standard deviation of the population is known. Is it true that the measures standard deviation of the means of 1.90% is the same for the ...

Sampling Distributions
... Let’s return to our basic dilemma: if sample estimates vary and if most estimates result in some degree of sampling error, how confident can we be in our estimate from the sample? Estimation – Let’s Put Standard Errors to Good Use We often use a sample statistic as an estimate of the exact value of ...
