STAT 110: Notes for Week of 10/17/16 Chapter 21 o p = population parameter. o p = sample proportion/percentage. Estimates the parameter. p = (number of successes in the sample/n) o μ = population mean/average. o x = sample mean/average. Estimates the population mean/average. o A statistic (point estimate/p) is unlikely to accurately describe the parameter, while a confidence interval (interval estimate/statistic +/- margin of error) is more likely to include the true parameter. o If the simple random sample is large enough (at least 1,000 participants), then: The proportion of p is approximately normal.
