1 Small Sample CI for a Population Mean µ
... • Let x̄ and s be the sample mean and sample standard deviation of a random sample of size n from a normal population with mean µ. Then a 100(1 − α)% confidence interval for µ is s x̄ ± tα/2,n−1 √ , n where tα/2,n−1 is the value such that P (T > tα/2,n−1 ) = P (T < −tα/2,n−1 ) = α/2, where T ∼ t(n − ...

If we mistakenly fail to reject a false null hypothesis, we have committed a Type II error; in disease testing it is the error of a false negative. It will happen when the value of the population parameter truly differs from the ...

... Does the sequence (Yn ) have a limiting distribution? Justify your answer. Solution: Compute ψYn (t) = E(etYn ) = etn pYn (n) = ent , for all t ∈ R. Observe that for t > 0, ψYn (t) → ∞ as n → ∞. Therefore, lim ψYn (t) does n→∞ not exist for t in an open interval around 0. Now, for any y ∈ R, there e ...
