7.3 Intervals Based on a Normal Population Distribution Let Xi,... ,Xn be a random sample from a population X. Recall: In 7.1, we use an interval to estimate a parameter of X, for instance, when X is normal,尸(X 々a例 rF A X + za/2o/ n)~ = 1 —o. We say (x —zo/2(j/ nyx-+ za/zo/ n) \s a 100(1 —。)％ cxDnfidence interval for In 7.2 we study the case when X is not necessarily normal and o is not known but the sample size n is large. We have similar result; P(X —za/2S/ n A X + za/zS/ n)=1 —a. Now in 7.3 we study the case when X is normal and o is unknown, but sample size n is not necessarily large.
