Important ideas from Chapter 5:

• Important ideas from Chapter 5
• If X satisfies the 4 items in the binomial
  setting then
• is B(n,p)
• For large n, the distribution of X can be
  approximated by a
• N(np, sqrt(np(1-p))) distribution
• is usually always computed when n is large and
  has approximately a
• N(p, sqrt(p(1-p)/n)) distribution.
• When sampling measurements, the sample mean Xbar
  is used to estimate the population mean m and
  for large n Xbar has approximately a N(m ,
  s/sqrt(n) ) distribution. If the population is
  normal, then the sample mean will be normal
  (exactly)
• Confidence intervals Always of the form
  estimate /- MOE
• The MOE is computed as a tabulated value
  times the standard deviation of the estimator
  for now, the tabulated values are all from Table
  A. Understand the following slide...!
