Elements of Statistics
摘要
As we have seen in Chap. 10 , probability deduces what is likely to happen when an experiment is performed. The entire pool of subjects in an investigation is called a population. It may be challenging to involve the whole population in the experiment. Instead, random samples may be chosen so that every member of a population has an equal chance of being selected as any other member. People use statistics obtained from these samples to describe the entire population.
