... When we substitute the value of the sample mean for a particular sample, we can no longer talk about the probability. Instead we say that we are 100(1−α)% sure that the true mean µ lies between the two values we obtained by using the sample mean. ...

... 8. Z score is the difference between the value and the mean divided by the standard deviation (8.8-11/2=-1.1 and 0-(-5)/1.5=3.333). The larger the Z score, the greater the distance from the value to the mean. From these two examples, I can see that 0 lies the greater distance above the mean and 8.8 ...

Degrees of freedom (statistics)

In statistics, the number of degrees of freedom is the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary.The number of independent ways by which a dynamic system can move, without violating any constraint imposed on it, is called number of degrees of freedom. In other words, the number of degrees of freedom can be defined as the minimum number of independent coordinates that can specify the position of the system completely.Estimates of statistical parameters can be based upon different amounts of information or data. The number of independent pieces of information that go into the estimate of a parameter are called the degrees of freedom. In general, the degrees of freedom of an estimate of a parameter are equal to the number of independent scores that go into the estimate minus the number of parameters used as intermediate steps in the estimation of the parameter itself (i.e. the sample variance has N-1 degrees of freedom, since it is computed from N random scores minus the only 1 parameter estimated as intermediate step, which is the sample mean).Mathematically, degrees of freedom is the number of dimensions of the domain of a random vector, or essentially the number of ""free"" components (how many components need to be known before the vector is fully determined).The term is most often used in the context of linear models (linear regression, analysis of variance), where certain random vectors are constrained to lie in linear subspaces, and the number of degrees of freedom is the dimension of the subspace. The degrees of freedom are also commonly associated with the squared lengths (or ""sum of squares"" of the coordinates) of such vectors, and the parameters of chi-squared and other distributions that arise in associated statistical testing problems.While introductory textbooks may introduce degrees of freedom as distribution parameters or through hypothesis testing, it is the underlying geometry that defines degrees of freedom, and is critical to a proper understanding of the concept. Walker (1940) has stated this succinctly as ""the number of observations minus the number of necessary relations among these observations.""
