90 90 90 90 90 38 In this diagram, do the populations have equal or unequal variances? Unequal. 90 90 * 14 14 33 35 Notice that the interval width is determined by 1-? in the sampling distribution. Have students explain why each of these occurs. Level of confidence can be seen in the sampling distribution. An estimator is a random variable used to estimate a population parameter (characteristic). Unbiasedness An estimator is unbiased if the mean of its sampling distribution is equal to the population parameter. Efficiency The efficiency of an unbiased estimator is measured by the variance of
