Study Notes
Margin of Error and Confidence Interval
- The formula for calculating the margin of error (EBM) for a population sampled mean X is not provided in the text.
- The margin of error (GIM) depends inversely on the confidence level (CL), meaning that a higher confidence level results in a larger margin of error.
- The term "error bound" refers to the margin of error for a population sampled mean X.
Confidence Interval Estimate
- If a sample mean is 15, and the error bound for the mean is 3.2, the confidence interval estimate for the population mean is 15 ± 3.2.
Research Study
- The primary focus of the group of researchers mentioned in the text is not specified.
- Industrial compounds were most likely entering the infants' bodies through their mothers' bodies.
- Neurotoxicity was not mentioned as being linked to the industrial compounds found in infants' cord blood.
Confidence Interval Interpretation
- A 90% confidence interval for the mean number of targeted industrial chemicals found in an infant's blood means that 90% of the time, the true population mean is expected to be within the interval.
