The document discusses key concepts in estimation theory including point estimation, interval estimation, and sample size determination. Point estimation involves calculating a single value to estimate an unknown population parameter. Interval estimation provides a range of values that the population parameter is likely to fall within. Sample size is important for balancing statistical power and cost; larger samples improve precision but also increase expenses. The document outlines methods for constructing confidence intervals for means, proportions, and differences between parameters.
Hypothesis is usually considered as the principal instrument in research and quality control. Its main function is to suggest new experiments and observations. In fact, many experiments are carried out with the deliberate object of testing hypothesis. Decision makers often face situations wherein they are interested in testing hypothesis on the basis of available information and then take decisions on the basis of such testing. In Six –Sigma methodology, hypothesis testing is a tool of substance and used in analysis phase of the six sigma project so that improvement can be done in right direction

SAMPLING MEAN:
DEFINITION:
The term sampling mean is a statistical term used to describe the properties of statistical distributions. In statistical terms, the sample meanfrom a group of observations is an estimate of the population mean. Given a sample of size n, consider n independent random variables X1, X2... Xn, each corresponding to one randomly selected observation. Each of these variables has the distribution of the population, with mean and standard deviation. The sample mean is defined to be
WHAT IT IS USED FOR:
It is also used to measure central tendency of the numbers in a database. It can also be said that it is nothing more than a balance point between the number and the low numbers.
HOW TO CALCULATE IT:
To calculate this, just add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.
Example: what is the mean of 2, 7, and 9?
Add the numbers: 2 + 7 + 9 = 18
Divide by how many numbers (i.e., we added 3 numbers): 18 ÷ 3 = 6
So the Mean is 6
SAMPLE VARIANCE:
DEFINITION:
The sample variance, s2, is used to calculate how varied a sample is. A sample is a select number of items taken from a population. For example, if you are measuring American people’s weights, it wouldn’t be feasible (from either a time or a monetary standpoint) for you to measure the weights of every person in the population. The solution is to take a sample of the population, say 1000 people, and use that sample size to estimate the actual weights of the whole population.
WHAT IT IS USED FOR:
The sample variance helps you to figure out the spread out in the data you have collected or are going to analyze. In statistical terminology, it can be defined as the average of the squared differences from the mean.
HOW TO CALCULATE IT:
Given below are steps of how a sample variance is calculated:
· Determine the mean
· Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result
· Then work out the mean of those squared differences.
To work out the mean, add up all the values then divide by the number of data points.
First add up all the values from the previous step.
But how do we say "add them all up" in mathematics? We use the Roman letter Sigma: Σ
The handy Sigma Notation says to sum up as many terms as we want.
· Next we need to divide by the number of data points, which is simply done by multiplying by "1/N":
Statistically it can be stated by the following:
·
· This value is the variance

Sam has 20 Rose Bushes.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. THEORY OF
ESTIMATION
Estimation Of
Point,
Interval and
Sample Size.
1 9/3/2012
2. INTRODUCTION:
Estimation Theory is a procedure of “guessing”
properties of the population from which data are
collected.
i.e, The objective of estimation is to determine the
approximate value of a population parameter on the
basis of a sample statistic.
An estimator is a rule, usually a formula, that tells
you how to calculate the estimate based on the
sample.
2 9/3/2012
3. PROPERTIES OF GOOD
ESTIMATORS
Unbiased: the average value of the estimator equals
the parameter to be estimated.
Minimum variance: of all the unbiased estimators,
the best estimator has a sampling distribution with the
smallest standard error.
3 9/3/2012
4. TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED:
Point Estimate: A point estimate is a one-
number summary of data
Interval Estimation: Two numbers are calculated
to create an interval within which the parameter is
expected to lie..
For example, suppose we want to estimate the
mean summer income of a class of business
students.
Point Estimate:
For n=25 students, is calculated to be 400 $/week.
Interval Estimate:
An alternative statement is:
4 The mean income is between 380 and 420 $/week.

5. Sample Size
"Sample Size" - is the number of a population
that will be evaluated as representing the
entire population, and from which statistics will
be derived.
The sample size is an important feature of
any empirical study in which the goal is to
make inferences about a population from a
sample.
In practice, the sample size used in a study is
determined based on the expense of data
collection, and the need to have sufficient
5 9/3/2012
statistical power .
6. • The larger the sample, the closer we get to
the population.
• Too large is unethical, because it's wasteful.
• Too small is unethical, because the outcome
will be indecisive.
• If you get significance and you’re wrong, it’s a
false-positive or Type I statistical error.
• If you get non-significance and you’re wrong,
it’s a false negative or Type II statistical
error.
6 9/3/2012
7. Factors That Influence Sample Size
• The "right" sample size for a particular
application depends on many factors, including
the following:
• Cost considerations (e.g., maximum budget,
desire to minimize cost).
• Administrative concerns (e.g., complexity of
the design, research deadlines).
• Minimum acceptable level of precision.
• Confidence level.
• Variability within the population or
subpopulation (e.g., stratum, cluster) of
interest.
• Sampling method.
7 9/3/2012
8. Ex:
• In a survey sampling involving stratified sampling
there would be different sample sizes for each
population. In a census, data are collected on the
entire population, hence the sample size is equal
to the population size
Stratified sample size
• With more complicated sampling techniques, such
as stratified sampling, the sample can often be
split up into sub-samples.
• Typically, if there are k such sub-samples (from k
different strata) then each of them will have a
sample size ni, i = 1, 2, ..., k. These ni must

9. ESTIMAION OF SAMPLE
POINT:
A single number is calculated to estimate the
parameter.
A point estimate is obtained by selecting a suitable
statistic and computing its value from the given
ˆ
sample data. The selected statistic is called the point
estimator of θ.
A point estimate of an unknown parameter is a statistic
that represents a “guess” at the value of .
Parameters
In statistical inference, the term parameter is used
to denote a quantity , say, that is a property of an
unknown probability distribution.

The sampling distributions of
two unbiased estimators.
Of all the unbiased
estimators, we prefer the
estimator whose sampling
distribution has the smallest
spread or variability.

14. INTERVAL ESTIMATES
An Estimation of a population parameter given
by two numbers between which the parameter may
be called as an internal estimation of the
parameter.
Eg : If we say that a distance is 5.28 feet, we are
giving a point estimate. If, on the other hand, we
say that the distance is 5.28 ± 0.03 feet, i.e., the
distance lies between 5.25 and 5.31 feet, we are
giving an interval estimate.
A statement of the error or precision of an
estimate is often called its reliability.

15. CONFIDENCE INTERVAL ESTIMATES
OF POPULATION PARAMETERS
Let μS and σS be the mean and standard
deviation of the sampling distribution of a
statistic S.
Then, if the sampling distribution of S is
approximately normal we can expect to find S
lying in the interval μS . σS to μS + σS, μS . 2σS
to μS + 2σS or μS . 3σS to μS + 3σS about
68.27%, 95.45%, and 99.73% of the time,
respectively.
We can be con.dent of .nding μS in the intervals
S. σS to S + σS, S . 2σS to S + 2σS, or S . 3σS
15 to S + 3σS about 68.27%, 95.45%, and 99.73% 9/3/2012
16. CONFIDENCE LIMITS:
The end numbers of these intervals (S ± σS, S ± 2 σS, S ±
3 σS) are then called the 68.37%, 95.45%, and 99.73%
Confidence Limits.
CONFIDENCE LEVEL :
S ± 1.96 σS and S ± 2.58 σS are 95% and 99% (or 0.95
and0.99) confidence limits for μS. The percentage
confidence is often called Confidence Level.
CRITICAL VALUE :
The numbers 1.96, 2.58, etc., in the confidence
limits are called Critical Values, and are denoted
by zC. From confidence levels we can find critical
values.
16 9/3/2012
17. Eg:
we give values of zC corresponding to various
confidence levels used in practice. For confidence
levels not presented in the table, the values of zC can
be found from the normal curve areas under the
Standard Normal Curve from 0 to z.

18. In cases where a statistic has a sampling distribution
that is different from the normal distribution,
appropriate modifications to obtain confidence intervals
have to be made.
CONFIDENCE INTERVALS:
Confidence Intervals for Means
Confidence Intervals for Proposition
Confidence Intervals for Differences and Sums.
18 9/3/2012
19. Confidence Intervals for
Means :
We shall see how to create confidence intervals
for the mean of a population using two different
cases.
The first case shall be when we have a Large
Sample Size (N ≥ 30).
The second case shall be when we have a
Smaller Sample (N < 30).
Then Underlying Population is normal.
19 9/3/2012
20. Large Samples (n ≥ 30) :
If the statistic S is the sample mean X, then the
95% and 99% confidence limits for estimation of
the population mean μ are given by X ±1.96 σX
and X ± 2.58 σX, respectively.
The confidence limits are given by X ± zc σX
where zc, which depends on the particular level
of confidence desired.

population or if sampling is done with
replacement from a finite population,
and by
•If sampling is done without replacement
from a population of finite size N.
•The population standard deviation σis
unknown, so that to obtain the above
confidence limits, we use the estimator

Sˆ or S. 9/3/2012
22. Small Samples (n < 30) and
Population Normal :
• We use the t distribution to obtain confidence
levels. For example, if –t0.975 and t0.975 are
the values of T for which 2.5% of the area lies
in each tail of the t distribution, then a 95%
confidence interval for T is given by
from which we can see that μ can be
estimated to lie in the interval with 95%
confidence.
22 9/3/2012
23. In general the confidence limits for
population means are given by
where the tc values.
•Sample size is very important! We
construct different confidence intervals
based on sample size, so make sure
we know which procedure to use.
23 9/3/2012
24. Confidence Intervals for
Proportions :
The statistic S is the proportion of “successes”
in a sample of size n ≥ 30 drawn from a
binomial population in which p is the proportion
of successes.
Then the confidence limits for p are given by P
± zc σP, where P denotes the proportion of
success in the sample of size n. Using the
values of σP obtained, we see that the
confidence limits for the population proportion
24 are given by 9/3/2012
25. In case sampling from an infinite population or if
sampling is with replacement from a finite population.
Similarly, the confidence limits are if sampling is
without replacement from a population of finite size
N.
25 9/3/2012
26. Confidence Intervals for
Differences and Sums :
If S1 and S2 are two sample statistics with
approximately normal sampling distributions,
confidence limits for the differences of the
population parameters corresponding to S1 and
S2 are given by
26 9/3/2012
27. while confidence limits for the sum of the
population parameters are given by provided
that the samples are independent.
• Confidence limits for the difference of
two population means, in the case where
the populations are infinite and have
known standard deviations σ1, σ2, are
given by

respective means and sizes of the two
samples drawn from the populations.
Confidence limits for the difference of two
population proportions, where the
populations are infinite, are given by
28 9/3/2012
29. where P1 and P2 are the two sample proportions and
n1 and n2 are the sizes of the two samples drawn
from the populations.
VARIANCE :
The variance for the difference of means is the same
as the variance for the sum of means.
