Encounding Uncertainties

Variance Standard Deviation

Normal Distribution

The Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem allow us to infer useful things about populations based on samples, even for non normal populations.

It states that the average of many independent random variables that all have the same distribution (not necessarily the normal distribution) is normally distributed.

Confidence Intervals

A confidence Interval is a range calculation showing how confidently we believe a sample mean (or other parameter) falls in a range for the population mean.

I first start by choosing a level of confidence (LOC), which will contain the desired probability for the population mean range. I want to be 95 % confident that my sample mean falls in the population mean range I will calculate.
