Whats next
We will take it to a quantitative level: How good is
a given estimate from a given sample?
We will go over formal language and equations for
using sample statistics to make inferences for
population parameters.
Once we have equations for predicting a population
mean and standard deviation, we will discuss
formal language for defining an interval estimate, a
guess of a range of potential values for the
population parameter, based on the sample. 3

What is the estimate of the population standard error for this sample?
o =sqrt {[(5-4)2+(2-4)2+(5-4)2+(2-4)2+(4-4)2+(5-4)2+(5-4)2]/(7-1)} / sqrt(7)
o = sqrt { [1 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 0 + 1 + 1] / 6 } / sqrt(7)
o = sqrt(2) / sqrt(7)
o = 1.41 / 2.64

o = 0.53
