MA121: Introduction to Statistics

Read sections 6 and 7 from chapter 9. Also, complete the questions at the end of each section. Section 6 discusses the mean and variance of the sampling distribution of the mean. This section also shows how central limit theorem can help to approximate the corresponding sampling distributions. Section 7 talks about the properties of the sampling distribution for differences between means by giving the formulas of both mean and variance for the sampling distribution. Using the central limit theorem, it also talks about how to compute the probability of a difference between means being beyond a specified value.
