What is a random sample from a population?
A random sample is a sample (subset of the population) where each member of the population has an equal chance of being sampled. See related links.
If the sample mean is 10 the hypothesized population mean is 9 and the population standard deviation is 4 compute the test value needed for the z test?
n = sample sizen1 = sample 1 sizen2 = sample 2 size= sample meanμ0 = hypothesized population meanμ1 = population 1 meanμ2 = population 2 meanσ = population standard deviationσ2 = population variance
Is N the sample or population mean?
N is neither the sample or population mean. The letter N represents the population size while the small case letter n represents sample size. The symbol of sample mean is x̄ ,while the symbol for population mean is µ.
What does it mean to say that the sample variance provides an unbiased estimate of the population variance?
It means you can take a measure of the variance of the sample and expect that result to be consistent for the entire population, and the sample is a valid representation for/of the population and does not influence that measure of the population.
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 is a random sample from a population?
A random sample is a sample (subset of the population) where each member of the population has an equal chance of being sampled. See related links.
How is sample related to population?
A population is the collection of all of the units of interest to a researcher. A sample is a subset of this collection that the researcher selects that is typically smaller than the population.
How can you tell if the population data is related to the sample data?
There are Goodness-of-Fit tests that can be used. The choice of test will depend on what is known about the population and sample data.
Will a population mean and sample mean always be identical?
The sample mean will seldom be the same as the population mean due to sampling error. See the related link.
What is subset of a population called?
A Sample
What sentence is a true statement Is a sample a subset of the population or Is a population a subset of the sample?
A sample is a subset of the population.
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.
How is a sample different from a population?
The sample is a subset of the population.
Is the data is sample or population?
Data is neither sample nor population. Data are collected for attributes. These can be for a sample or a population.
What is a sample that that consists of everyone in the population?
It is not a sample. A sample must be a proper subset of the whole population.
What is represenatative sample of population?
A representative sample is one where the statistics of the sample are the same as the statistics for the parent population.
What is a sample study?
sample is the population we make our study about them.
