Standard ErrorStandard Error– When standard deviation is estimatedWhen standard deviation is estimated
Compared to Standard Normal CurveCompared to Standard Normal Curve– Density curves are similar in shapeDensity curves are similar in shape– Spread is greater because substituting Spread is greater because substituting ss for σ for σ
introduces more variationintroduces more variation
As degrees of freedom As degrees of freedom change…change…
As As kk increases, increases, the the t(k)t(k) density density curve curve approaches approaches N(0,1) because N(0,1) because ss estimates σ more estimates σ more accurately when accurately when nn is large (last is large (last line of Table C in line of Table C in back of book) back of book)

SRS is more important than population SRS is more important than population distribution being normal (except in distribution being normal (except in small samples)small samples)
Guidelines for Guidelines for nn
nn < 15 – if the data are close to < 15 – if the data are close to normalnormal
nn ≥ 15 – can be used except in the ≥ 15 – can be used except in the presence of outliers or strong presence of outliers or strong skewnessskewness
nn ≥ 40 – considered a large sample ≥ 40 – considered a large sample and and tt procedures can be used even procedures can be used even for clearly skewed distributions for clearly skewed distributions

Need two independent SRSs and both Need two independent SRSs and both populations should be normally populations should be normally distributed distributed

Difference of the sample means is an Difference of the sample means is an unbiased estimator of the difference of the unbiased estimator of the difference of the population meanspopulation means
Variance of the difference is the sum of Variance of the difference is the sum of the variancesthe variances
If both population distributions are normal, If both population distributions are normal, then the distribution of the difference is then the distribution of the difference is also normal also normal
