... 15), then grouping the third largest number with the third smallest number (3 + 14), and so forth until all possible groupings are created. We will have 8 groups that sum to 17, since 8 is half of sixteen. Thus the sum of the numbers from 1 to 17 is 8*17 = 136. We see that this is in line with the g ...

... 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 .

German tank problem
In the statistical theory of estimation, the problem of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution from sampling without replacement is known in English as the German tank problem, due to its application in World War II to the estimation of the number of German tanks.The analyses illustrate the difference between frequentist inference and Bayesian inference.Estimating the population maximum based on a single sample yields divergent results, while the estimation based on multiple samples is an instructive practical estimation question whose answer is simple but not obvious.
