Engineering statistics notes

Rule of thumb: If the normal approximation will be satisfactory regardless of the shape of the population. (If n is evaluated from more than 30 values, we will consider hat s is a good point estimate for o. ) Otherwise, we need to use a different shape of probability distribution function that will consider an error on o. Lecture 12 3 Confidence Interval on the mean, small sample () & Variance unknown Let XSL, XX, , Oxen be a random sample from a normal distribution with unknown mean and variance.

The random variable: Has a t distribution with n-l degrees of freedom. 4 Confidence Interval on the mean, small sample (insurance unknown) 5 Operating Characteristic curves (probabilities for errors on t-test) d= 6 Confidence Interval on the mean, variance unknown.
