Describe the abstract idea of a sampling distribution and how it reflects the sample to sample variability of a sample statistic or point estimate. Identify the ...

We have previously discussed the importance of estimating uncertainty in our measurements and incorporating it into data analysis 1. To know the extent to which we can generalize our observations, we ...

GUM, the internationally approved technique for calculating measurement uncertainty, is reliant on the availability of a certified reference sample. Likewise, to find any repeatable offset (systematic ...

Central Limit Theorem: A sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normally distributed if the sample size is sufficiently large. This is true no matter what the population distribution is.

Example 1: The population from which samples are selected is {1,2,3,4,5,6}. This population has a mean of 3.5 and a standard deviation of 1.70783. The next display shows a histogram of the population.
