12. PROBABILITY GENERATING FUNCTIONS

You will learn how to:

• formulate and carry out a hypothesis test concerning the mean for a small sample using the t-test
• calculate a pooled estimate of a population variance from two samples
• formulate and carry out a hypothesis test concerning the difference in means, using:
  • a two-sample t-test
  • a paired sample t-test
  • a test using the normal distribution
• determine a confidence interval for a population mean based on a small sample, using the t-distribution
• determine a confidence interval for the difference in population means.
