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.
