For a population the mean and the expected value are just two names for the same thing.

For a sample the mean is the same as the average and no expected value exists.

How much error is expected between the sample mean and population mean?

0. The expected value of the sample mean is the population mean, so the expected value of the difference is 0.


Is there any difference between expected value and arithmetic mean?

There is. Arithmetic mean is simple average of numbers not weighted by anything. However in EV, the numbers are weighted by their probability


Is the expected value the same as the standard deviation?

No. The expected value is the mean!


Distinguish between mean deviation and standard deviation?

The mean deviation for any distribution is always 0 and so conveys no information whatsoever. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. The variance of a set of values is the sum of the probability of each value multiplied by the square of its difference from the mean for the set. A simpler way to calculate the variance is Expected value of squares - Square of Expected value.


What is the difference between standard deviation and mean?

The mean is the average value and the standard deviation is the variation from the mean value.


On average what value is expected for the t statistic when the null hypothesis is true?

When the null hypothesis is true, the expected value for the t statistic is 0. This is because the t statistic is calculated as the difference between the sample mean and the hypothesized population mean, divided by the standard error, and when the null hypothesis is true, these values should be equal, resulting in a t statistic of 0.


What does diviation mean?

Deviation refers to the act of departing from an established course, standard, or norm. It often implies a divergence from expected behavior, practices, or measurements in various contexts, such as statistics, psychology, or general behavior. In mathematics, it can also refer to the difference between a value and a mean or expected value. Overall, deviation signifies a variation or change from what is considered typical or normal.


What does mean and range mean in mathematics?

I only know what mean is, so mean is the same thing to the average. * * * * * Range is the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value. Range = Maximum - Minimum.


What is it meant by the expected value is observable?

The expected value is the arithmetic mean. It may not always be a value that is realised. Consider rolling a fair normal die. The mean or expected value of the outcome is 3.5 but a normal die will never ever turn up 3.5 since it has only integer values.

Does difference mean subtract or divide?

You would use subtract to find the difference between values, by subtracting the lower value from the higher one.
