Why wont a sample statistics change from sample to sample?
The sample mean may differ from the population mean, especially for small samples.
What is the estimated population mean with a sample of 36 and a standard deviation of 0.03?
What is the sample mean?
What information about a sample does a mean not provide?
what information about the sample of a mean not provide
Difference between calculating the sample mean and the population mean?
The same basic formula is used to calculate the sample or population mean. The sample mean is x bar and the population mean is mu. Add all the values in the sample or population and divide by the number of data values.
When you draw a sample from a normal distribution what can you conclude about the sample distribution?
The answer depends on how the sample is selected. If it is a simple random sample, of size n, then it is distributed approximately normally with the same mean as the population mean.The answer depends on how the sample is selected.

How do you find the sample size when given the standard deviation and the mean with a sample value?
You cannot from the information provided.
What happens to the sample mean as the sample size increases?
With a good sample, the sample mean gets closer to the population mean.
What is the difference between the population mean and sample mean?
The population mean is the mean calculated over every member of the set of subjects being studied. It is usually not available and a survey is used to find an estimate for the population mean. The mean value of the variable in question, calculated from only the subjects included in the sample (or survey) is the sample mean. Provided some basic statistical requirements are met, the sample mean is a "good" estimate of the population mean.
Why wont a sample statistics change from sample to sample?
The sample mean may differ from the population mean, especially for small samples.
When using the distribution of sample mean to estimate the population mean what is the benefit of using larger sample sizes?
The variance decreases with a larger sample so that the sample mean is likely to be closer to the population mean.
A Numerical Measure from a Sample Such as a Sample Mean Is Known?

What is the difference between calculating the sample mean and the population mean?
You calculate the actual sample mean, and from that number, you then estimate the probable mean (or the range) of the population from which that sample was drawn.
What will happen if the sample you have drawn from the population does not represent the population?
You are studying the sample because you want to find out information about the whole population. If the sample you have drawn from the population does not represent the population, you will find out about the sample but will not find out about the population.

Why is the sample mean an unbiased estimator of the population mean?
The sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean because the average of all the possible sample means of size n is equal to the population mean.
How do you find the degrees of freedom when using the t distribution to estimate or test the mean of a sample from a single population?
If the sample consisted of n observations, then the degrees of freedom is (n-1).
