When estimating an unknown parameter, what does the margin of error indicate?
What is meant by saying that a statistical procedure is robust?
Suppose that you take simple random samples from a population and that, for each sample, you obtain a confidence interval for an unknown parameter. Approximately how many of those confidence intervals will not contain the value of the unknown parameter?
The margin of error is also called the maximum error of the estimate. Explain why.
Formula on page provides a method for computing the sample size required to obtain a confidence interval with a specified confidence level and margin of error. The number resulting from the formula should be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
a. Why do we want a whole number?
b. Why do we round up instead of down?
