Chapter 14: Week 14

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

In the prior section we used statistical inference to make an estimate of a population parameter and to measure the reliability of the estimate through a confidence interval. In this section, we will explore in detail the use of statistical inference in testing a claim about a population parameter; this inference is the heart of the scientific method used in research.
