confidence interval for a single u
A range of values of u, one of which is likely to be represented by the sample mean
estimated standard error of the mean
An estimate of the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means, used in calculating the one-sample t-test
interval estimation
A way to estimate a population parameter by describing an interval within which the population parameter is expected to fall
margin of error
Expressing the expected error when estimating a population parameter as plus or minus some amount
sampling distribution of r
A frequency distribution showing all possible values of r that occur when samples are drawn from a population in which p is zero
one-sample t-test
The parametric procedure for a one-sample experiment when the standard deviation of the raw score population must be estimated
point estimation
A way to estimate a population parameter by describing a point on the variable at which the population parameter is expected to fall
sampling distribution of r s
A frequency distribution showing all possible values of r s that occur when samples are drawn from a population in which p s is zero
t-distribution
The sampling distribution of all possible values of t that occur when samples of a particular size represent the raw score population(s) described by the null hypothesis
