Assumptions
Large Sample is defined as samples with n > 30 and σ known.
Data collected carelessly can be absolutely worthless, even if the sample is quite large.

Estimatora formula or process for using sample data to
estimate a population parameter
Estimatea specific value or range of values used to
approximate some population parameter
Point Estimatea single value (or point) used to approximate a
population parameter
The sample mean x is the best point estimate of the population mean µ.

DefinitionConfidence Interval
(or Interval Estimate)
a range (or an interval) of values used to estimate the true value of the population
parameter

As an exampleLower # < < Upper #

DefinitionWhy Confidence Intervals
A couple of points
1. Even though x is the best estimate for and s is the best estimate for they do not give us an indication of how good they are.
2. A confidence interval gives us a range of values based on
a) variation of the sample data
b) How accurate we want to be
3. The width of the range of values gives us an indication of how good the estimate is.
4. The width is called the Margin of Error (E). We will discuss how to calculate this later.

Proportion of times that the confidence interval actual contains the population parameter
Degree of Confidence = 1 - often expressed as a percentage value
usually 90%, 95%, or 99% So ( = 10%), ( = 5%), ( = 1%)
DefinitionDegree of Confidence
(level of confidence or confidence coefficient)

Interpreting a Confidence Interval
Let: 1 - = .95
Correct: we are 95% confident that the interval from 98.08 to 98.32 actually does contain the true value of .
This means that if we were to select many different samples of sufficient size and construct the confidence intervals, 95% of them would actually contain the value of the population mean .
Wrong: There is a 95% chance that the true value of will fall between 98.08 and 98.32. (there is no way to calculate the probability for a population parameter only a sample statistic)
98.08o < µ < 98.32o

The number on the borderline separating sample statistics that are likely to occur from those that are
unlikely to occur. The number z/2 is a critical value that
is a z score with the property that it separates an area /2
in the right tail of the standard normal distribution.

If n > 30 and we know
If n 30, the population must have a normal distribution and we must know .
Knowing is largely unrealistic.

1. When using the original set of data, round the confidence interval limits to one more decimal place than used in original set of data.
2. When the original set of data is unknown and only the
summary statistics (n, x, s) are used, round the confidence interval limits to the same number of decimal places used for the sample mean.

Example: If we want to estimate the mean weight of plastic discarded by households in one week, how many households must be randomly selected to be 99% confident that the sample mean is within 0.25 lb of the true population mean? (A previous study indicates the standard deviation is 1.065 lb.)

z = 2.575
E = 0.25
σ = 1.065
n = z = (2.575)(1.065) E 0.25
= 120.3 = 121 households

If n is not a whole number, round it up to the next higher whole number.

σ = 1.065
n = z = (2.575)(1.065) E 0.25

We would need to randomly select 121 households to be 99% confident that this mean is within 1/4 lb of the
population mean.

Example: How large will the sample have to be if we want to decrease the margin of error from 0.25 to 0.2? Would you expect it to be larger or smaller?

z = 2.575
E = 0.20
σ = 1.065
n = z = (2.575)(1.065) E 0.2
= 188.01 = 189 households
2 2
We would need to randomly select a larger sample because we require a smaller margin of error.

What happens when E is doubled ?
Sample size n is decreased to 1/4 of its original value if E is doubled.
Larger errors allow smaller samples.
Smaller errors require larger samples.

eruption duration. Write a conclusion for the 95% interval. Assume σ to be 58 seconds

Important Facts about the Student t Distribution
1. Developed by William S. Gosset in 19082. Density function is complex
3. Shape is determined by “n”
4. Has the same general symmetric bell shape as the normal distribution but it reflects the greater variability (with wider distributions) that is expected with small samples.
5. The Student t distribution has a mean of t = 0, but the standard deviation varies with the sample size and is always greater than 1
6. Is essentially the normal distribution for large n. For values of n > 30, the differences are so small that we can use the critical z or t value.

Example: Let’s do an example comparing z and t. Construct confidence interval’s for each using the following data.
n = 16
x = 50
s = 20
= 0.05/2 = 0.025
Now we wouldn’t use a z distribution here due to the small sample but let’s
do it anyway and compare the width of the confidence interval to a confidence interval created using a t distribution
![Page 47: 1 Chapter 6 Estimates and Sample Sizes 6-1 Estimating a Population Mean: Large Samples / σ Known 6-2 Estimating a Population Mean: Small Samples / σ Unknown.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f145503460f94c298dc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Example: A study of 12 Dodge Vipers involved in collisions resulted in repairs averaging $26,227 and a standard deviation of $15,873. Find the 95% interval estimate of , the mean repair cost for all Dodge Vipers involved in collisions. (The 12 cars’ distribution appears to be bell-shaped.)
x = 26,227
s = 15,873
= 0.05/2 = 0.025t/2 = 2.201
E = t2 s = (2.201)(15,873) = 10,085.3
n 12
26,227 - 10,085.3 < µ < 26,227 + 10,085.3
x - E < µ < x + E
We are 95% confident that this interval contains the average cost of repairing a Dodge Viper.
$16,141.7 < µ < $36,312.3

Assumptions 1. The sample is a random sample.
2. The conditions for the binomial distribution are satisfied (See Section 4-3.)

Example: We want to determine, with a margin of error of two percentage points, the percentage of Americans
who own their house. Assuming that we want 90% confidence in our results, how many Americans must we survey? An earlier study indicates 67.5% of Americans
own their own home.
To be 90% confident that our sample percentage is within two percentage points of the
true percentage for all Americans, we should
randomly select and survey 1484 households.
