What does the sample standard deviation best estimate?
The standard deviation of the population. the standard deviation of the population.
Can a standard deviation of a sample be equal to a standard deviation of a population?
Yes
Is The standard deviation of all possible sample proportions increases as the sample size increases?
The standard deviation would generally decrease because the large the sample size is, the more we know about the population, so we can be more exact in our measurements.
Sample standard deviation?
Standard deviation in statistics refers to how much deviation there is from the average or mean value. Sample deviation refers to the data that was collected from a smaller pool than the population.
Why does the effect-size calculation use standard deviation rather than standard error?
The goal is to disregard the influence of sample size. When calculating Cohen's d, we use the standard deviation in teh denominator, not the standard error.
What is the sample standard deviation of 27.5?
A single observation cannot have a sample standard deviation.

How do i find sample standard deviation from population standard deviation?
If the population standard deviation is sigma, then the estimate for the sample standard error for a sample of size n, is s = sigma*sqrt[n/(n-1)]
When is a t test better than a z score?
When you don't have the population standard deviation, but do have the sample standard deviation. The Z score will be better to do as long as it is possible to do it.
How does one calculate the standard error of the sample mean?
Standard error of the sample mean is calculated dividing the the sample estimate of population standard deviation ("sample standard deviation") by the square root of sample size.
What is the statistic that is used to estimate a population standard deviation?
the sample standard deviation
Sample standard deviation?

What happens if you estimate population standard deviation with the sample standard deviation?
Not a lot. After all, the sample sd is an estimate for the population sd.
Why does the effect-size calculation use standard deviation rather than standard error?
The goal is to disregard the influence of sample size. When calculating Cohen's d, we use the standard deviation in teh denominator, not the standard error.
How does a sample size impact the standard deviation?
If I take 10 items (a small sample) from a population and calculate the standard deviation, then I take 100 items (larger sample), and calculate the standard deviation, how will my statistics change? The smaller sample could have a higher, lower or about equal the standard deviation of the larger sample. It's also possible that the smaller sample could be, by chance, closer to the standard deviation of the population. However, A properly taken larger sample will, in general, be a more reliable estimate of the standard deviation of the population than a smaller one. There are mathematical equations to show this, that in the long run, larger samples provide better estimates. This is generally but not always true. If your population is changing as you are collecting data, then a very large sample may not be representative as it takes time to collect.
