Estimation/Confidence Intervals for Popn Mean
... estimate the variance (and standard deviation). That is, there are only n-1 pieces of information available to estimate the standard deviation after we “spend” one to estimate the sample mean. The t-distribution is a normal distribution adjusted for unknown standard deviation hence it is logical tha ...

Confidence Intervals for One Population Proportion
... Note: p̂ is an unbiased and consistent estimator of p. Unbiased – an estimator is unbiased if the mean of the estimator equals the population parameter. We know that E pˆ p Consistent – an estimator is consistent if the standard deviation of the estimator (the standard error) gets smaller as th ...

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.
