A course underlying the basics of confidence intervals for estimating one population mean, including Z- and T-tests and Intervals. Pre-requisites: The normal distribution, z-scores, sampling distribution of sample means and the Central Limit Theorem, and a basic knowledge of probability.

Learning Objectives

• To estimate the value of one population mean
• Inferential statistics – using statistics (e.g. sample mean) in order to estimate parameters (e.g. population mean)
• A knowledge of sampling distributions and the Central Limit Theorem is necessary for this unit
• We will be working with two inference procedures: (1) Z-Intervals(2) T-Intervals
