A standard frequentist approach would proceed via the construction of a likelihood function, which gives the probability ...

In class, we studied the sampling distribution of p̂ , the sample proportion of successes in a binomial experiment. We saw that this distribution is approximately normal if np and n(1-p) are both greater than or eq ...

... The mean income of the sample of households contacted by the Current Population Survey was $57,045. The number 57,045 is a statistic because it describes this one CPS sample. The population that the poll wants to draw conclusions about is all 106 million U.S. households. The parameter of interest is ...
