1. Estimating the Value of a Parameter Using Confidence Intervals
Chapter 9
Estimating the Value of a Parameter
Using Confidence Intervals

2. 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
