1

x bar (the sample mean)

estimates μ (the population mean)

New cards
2

p hat (the sample proportion)

estimates p (the population proportion)

New cards
3

Sx (the sample st. dev.)

estimates σ (the population st. dev.

New cards
4

statistic

describes characteristics of a sample

New cards
5

parameter

describes characteristics of a population

New cards
6

sampling variability

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

New cards
7

sampling distribution

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

New cards
8

unbiased estimator

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

New cards
9

variability

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

New cards
10

 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.
