Chi-squared distribution (from last lecture) Revision: Estimation Problems Central Limit Theorem
Theorem
Central limit theorem (CLT)
Let X1, . . . ,Xn be IID with unknown µ and σ.
Then E(X ) = µ, V (X ) = σ2
n , and, if n is big enough,
Z def=
X − µσ/√
napprox∼ N (0, 1)
Example 2 (from before)
Let X1, . . . ,X75 IID, suppose we do not know normality, µ, σ unknown
We know: x = 0.310, s = 0.0028, n = 75
⇒ X−µσ/√
napprox∼ N (0, 1) according to CLT
⇒ Realization: 0.310−µ0.0028/
√75
⇒ 90 % CI for µ : P(−1.645 ≤ 0.310−µ0.0028/
√75≤ 1.645) = 0.90
⇒ P(0.3095 ≤ µ ≤ 0.3105) = 0.90
⇒ 90 % CI for µ : [0.3095, 0.3105]

Use T-distribution if you have enough information: i.e. normaldistribution and a not too large sample
