T15 - Sampling distributions

28 Outubro 2025, 13:30 Alexandra Bugalho de Moura

Expected value of the sample mean and the sample variance.

Normal population: distribution of the sample average with known and unknown variance, distribution of the sample variance; chi-square and t-student distributions.
Central limit theorem.
Other populations (large samples).
Two normal populations: distribution of the difference of sample averages with known variances, with unknown but equal variances, and with unknown variances (Welch approximation and asymptotic approximation)
Two populations: large samples.
