Using Two Samples

The Population Mean

The Population Mean

This image shows a series of histograms for a large number of sample means taken from a population. Recall that as more sample means are taken, the closer the mean of these means will be to the population mean. In this section, we explore hypothesis testing of two independent population means (and proportions) and also tests for paired samples of population means.
