Estimating the Value of a Parameter Using Confidence Intervals Chapter 9 Estimating the Value of a Parameter Using Confidence Intervals
Overview We apply the results about the sample mean to the problem of estimation Estimation is the process of using sample data to estimate the value of a population parameter We will quantify the accuracy of our estimation process
