Point Estimator
A statistic that provides an estimate of a population parameter
Point Estimate
Value of that statistic from a sample
Confidence Interval
Gives an interval of plausible values for a parameter. the interval is calculated by (point estimate)+-(Margin of Error)
Margin of Error
How close we believe our guess is, based on varaiability of the estimate in the repeated SRSs of size n
Difference between the point estimate and true parameter value will be less then margin of error
Confidence Level
Overall success rate if the method of calculating the confidence interval
Confidence Interval Interpretation
We are C% confident that the interval () to () captures the true population (parameter in context)
How to calculate point estimate and ME from an interval
PE: find midpoint of the 2 values
ME: +- PE with interval values
Interpretation of Confidence Level
If we repeat a sample many, many times, of size N about C% off all intervals will capture the
