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)
