Consider an infinite population with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 20.A random sample of size 64 is taken from this population.The standard deviation of the sample mean equals 2.50.
Infinite Population
An idealized concept of a population so large that its size is not diminished by the sampling process.
Standard Deviation
An estimator for the amount of disparity or spread found in a set of numerical values.
Sample Mean
The average value of a subset of a larger population, used to estimate the population mean.
- Analyze the standard error of the mean in samples from large or infinite population bases.
- Recognize the relationship between population parameters and sampling distribution characteristics.
