Estimation
This chapter introduces the concept of estimation, focusing on how to use sample data to make inferences about unknown population parameters. It…
What you'll learn
- Calculate unbiased estimates of the population mean and variance from a sample.
- Formulate hypotheses and carry out a hypothesis test concerning the population mean in cases where the population is normally distributed with known variance or where a large sample is used.
- Determine and interpret a confidence interval for a population mean in cases where the population is normally distributed with known variance or where a large sample is used.
- Determine, from a large sample, an approximate confidence interval for a population proportion.
