... population standard deviation of 2.5 minutes. Click on a cell and then type =CONFIDENCE(0.05,2.5,50) in the Excel input box and click on ok. We only use the sample size and standard deviation in this command. You will get the value of 0.692951. 30 - 0.7 = 29.3 and 30 + 0.7 = 30.7 So, the expression ...

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.
