• Statistical inference is making conclusion or generalization
about the population based on the study of samples.
• Point estimate is a single value that estimates the population
parameter, such as 𝑥ҧ as estimate for μ, or s as estimate for σ.
• Interval estimate sometimes called confidence interval, is a
range or interval (with lower and upper limits) used to
estimate the population parameter. It is usually in the form a
< θ < b, which tells that the estimated parameter (θ) is
between two values (a and b) at a certain level of confidence.
When the population variance or standard deviation σ
is known, or when n ≥ 30 (by central limit theorem), the
formula below can be used as an interval estimate of
population mean μ at a certain degree of confidence
(α):

A car company wants to estimate the miles-per gallon
rate of their new car model. It was known through
experience that similar models have standard
deviation of 4.5 miles-per-gallon. A random sample of
100 units of the new model showed a mean of 32
miles-per-gallon. Construct a 97% confidence interval
for the population mean miles-per-gallon rate of the
new car model.
