Sampling Distribution of the sampling mean

Cards (6)

  • Z formula = probability that a sample mean falls within a certain region
  • Standard deviation = standard error
  • Given a degree of probability = we can calculate the range within which we expect to find our sample mean
  • Sample mean = estimate as it's an estimator of the population mean
  • Point estimator = draws inference about a population by estimating the value of an unknown parameter using a single value or point
  • Interval estimator = draws inference about a population by estimating the value of an unknown parameter using an interval
