UNIT 8. GOALS Describe advatages ad disadvatages of poit estimates ad iterval estimates. Iterpret the characteristics of precisio ad cofidece i estimatios. Build cofidece itervals for the populatio mea. Determie sample size for the mea. Build cofidece itervals for the populatio variace ad proportio. Determie sample size for the proportio.

Types of estimates GOAL Approximate populatio parameters which are ukow The estimates of the parameters ca be expressed as: A) Poit Estimate Disadvatage: there is o measure of how good the estimate is B) Iterval Estimate Specify a rage withi which the parameter is estimated to lie Margi of error Poit estimate Uiversidad de Oviedo.

Iterval Precisio Iterval precisio is measured through the width of the iterval, A. I case of a symmetric iterval, precisio ca be the evaluated through the margi of error, εa/ WidthAT -T Factors ifluecig precisio T T Margi of error ε Cofidece level Iformatio about the populatio (probability model ad parameters) Sample iformatio (size, samplig methods, estimator) Uiversidad de Oviedo.
