4.1 Statistics and Sampling Distributions
• Statistical inference: it is concerned with drawing
conclusions about populations (or processes) based on sample
data from that system
• Random sample: a sample that is selected so that the
observations are independent – a random sample has the
property that it has the same probability of selection as any
other sample.
• Statistic: any function of the observations in a sample that
doesn't contain unknown parameters
• The sample mean, the sample variance, and the sample
standard deviation are all statistics

P-values for t-Tests
• The tables of the standard normal distribution can
give exact P-values for the Z test for values of Z to
two decimals
• The t-table only has a selection of probabilities (see
the column headings in the table)
• Unless the value of the test statistic exactly matches a
value in the table, only an approximate P-value can
be obtained
• See text, page 124, for an example
• P-values can also be obtained from Minitab by using
the “Probability Distribution” function “Calc” menu
