Chapter 23 Inference About Means Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education‚ Inc. Getting Started n n n Now that we know how to create confidence intervals and test hypotheses about proportions‚ it’d be nice to be able to do the same for means. Just as we did before‚ we will base both our confidence interval and our hypothesis test on the sampling distribution model. The Central Limit Theorem told us that the sampling distribution model for means is Normal s with mean μ and standard deviation

Chapter Review Human migration began in eastern Africa‚ where remains of the earliest types of human remains were found to originate. Gradual migration was caused by the need to find scarce food and slowly caused the spread of the human population across to the Americas and Australia. Agricultural societies first emerged in the middle east.
