Effect of sampling distribution on estimates
For observed sample mean of 0.4, some point estimates are computed based on summary measures of the sampling distribution.
We can examine how the stopping rule affects the summary measures for sampling distribution
·If they differ, then the corresponding point estimates should differ
·(In session 4 we will give precise comparisons for various estimates)
