Sample and population Proportion between Sample and Mean between two Sample and SD between two
proportion two sample population mean sample population SD sample

If  is not known then

the sample SD can be 1. If 1 = 2 = , then If  is not known, then
If P is not known then we
If P is not known used in its place.
assume that p is nearly equal
then
to P, hence

1. 2. 1  2 and not
known, then can be
2. 95% confidence limits for approximated by the
P is sample SD, then

3. If 1 and 2 are
equal and not known,
then

p = sample proportion, P = population proportion, n = sample size, s = sample SD,  = population SD, = sample mean,  = population mean

Sample Mean and Population Mean Two sample means drawn from the same population

1. If n1 = n2 = n and the samples are independent, then

2. If n1 = n2 = n and the samples are associated in some way then, assume

p = sample proportion, P = population proportion, n = sample size, s = sample SD,  = population SD, = sample mean,  = population mean
