Sampling errors are statistical errors that arise when a sample does not represent

the whole population

Confidence intervals communicate how accurate our estimate is likely to be

We use a confidence interval to express the range in which the population mean lies within
it

What effect the width of the confidence intervals?


The variation within the population interest
The size of the sample

Calculating the CI:


Informal
Traditional Normal based
bootstrapping

standard deviation of the mean of the means is the called standard error

the differences of the standard deviation and standard error:


the standard deviation quantifies the variation within a set of measurements

the standard error quantifies the variation in the means from multiple set of
measurements.

Uniform distribution has an equal probability of selecting a random number
