New cards

x bar (the sample mean)

estimates μ (the population mean)

New cards

p hat (the sample proportion)

estimates p (the population proportion)

New cards

Sx (the sample st. dev.)

estimates σ (the population st. dev.

New cards

statistic

describes characteristics of a sample

New cards

parameter

describes characteristics of a population

New cards

sampling variability

different random samples of the same size from the same population product different values for a statistic

New cards

sampling distribution

distribution of values taken by the statistic in all possible samples of the same size from the same population

New cards

unbiased estimator

mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the value of the parameter being estimated

New cards

variability

described by the spread of its sampling distribution — inversely proportional to sample size

New cards

sampling distribution of the sample proportion p hat

describes the distribution of values taken by the sample proportion p hat in all possible samples of the same size from the same population.

New cards

mean of the sampling distribution
