<h2><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">General</span></h2>
<h3><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Point Estimate</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A specific numerical value estimate of a parameter. The best point estimate of the population mean μ is the sample mean x̄.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interval Estimate</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An interval or a range of values used to estimate the parameter.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Confidence Interval (CI)</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A range of values constructed from sample data so that parameter occurs within that range at a specified probability. The specified probability is called the level of confidence.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maximum error of estimate</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The maximum likely difference between the point estimate of a parameter and the actual value of the parameter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Minimum sample size needed for an interval estimate of the population mean, when n ≥ 30.</span></p>
