估計的基本概念 點估計(point estimation)：根據樣本資料求得一估計值，以推估未知的母體參數。 區間估計(interval estimation)：根據樣本資料所求出的點估計值(point estimate)，藉由點估計量抽樣分配的性質求出兩個數值而構成一區間，稱為區間估計值(interval estimate)，並利用此一區間推估未知母體參數的範圍。 9-

點估計 Point Estimates 點估計：由樣本中計算出一個代表（估計）母體數值的樣本數值 LO9-1 Compute and interpret a point estimate of a population mean. 點估計 Point Estimates 點估計：由樣本中計算出一個代表（估計）母體數值的樣本數值 A point estimate is a single value (point) derived from a sample and used to estimate a population value. 9-*

1-1 點估計 9-

統計估計分兩類：(p.280) 點估計(point estimate)： 是從一組樣本中根據樣本統計式所計算而得的數值，我們用此數值來推論母體參數值。 e.g. 某教授為了了解大學畢業生第一份工作的平均所得，就以簡單抽樣的方法，從全台灣25萬大學畢業生這個母體當中，抽出50個為一組的隨機樣本。然後計算此樣本的平均薪資為2萬1千元。此教授若做以下結論： 「台灣的大學畢業生第一份工作的平均薪資為2萬1千元！」 9-

點估計 你覺得這個教授的結論可靠嗎？ 或者說，這個樣本統計值(50位大學畢業生第一份工作薪資的平均值)是否接近、代表母體參數(全台灣大學畢業生第一份工作薪水的平均值)？ 用點估計的結果去推估母體，不見得準確！ 只用一組樣本的樣本統計量去推估母體參數，非常不可靠！ 因為，再抽取另外一組樣本(50個樣本點)，得到的點估計值會跟前一組樣本的點估計不同，請問你要用哪一個點估計？ 以單單一組樣本得到的點估計值去估計母體參數值，缺點如下： (1)無法得知是否真是母體參數的真值 (2)如果不等，其誤差的大小無法得知 9-

信賴區間估計 Confidence Interval Estimates LO9-2 Compute and interpret a confidence interval for a population mean. 信賴區間估計 Confidence Interval Estimates 信賴區間估計(C.I.)：在某個特定機率下，由樣本資料推估母體參數落在那個區間內，亦為一種區間估計。這個特定機率又稱為信賴水準(level of confidence) A confidence interval estimate is a range of values constructed from sample data so that the population parameter is likely to occur within that range at a specified probability. The specified probability is called the level of confidence. C.I. = 點估計 ± 誤差 C.I. = point estimate ± margin of error 9-*

信賴區間估計: 步驟 (1)透過樣本取得點估計值（平均數） e.g.大學畢業生第一年的平均薪資為2萬1千元 (2)以此估計值為中心，根據特定的信賴水準，導出一個上下限的信賴區間 e.g.信賴區間為1萬8千元與2萬5千元之間 (3)常用的信賴水準為95％或是99％ 若是95％的信賴水準，表示： 我們有95％的信心，母體參數會落在這個信賴區間之內 e.g.大學畢業生第一年的薪資介於1萬8千元與2萬5千元之間，此區間包含母體平均數(全台大學畢業生平均薪資)的可信度(機率)為95％。(有95%的信心，母體參數會位於這個區間之內) 9-

如何決定信賴區間的範圍？ Factors Affecting Confidence Interval Estimates 從樣本平均數推估母體平均數所在的信賴區間， 有兩種情況： (1)常態分配下母體的標準差σ已知： (2)母體的標準差σ未知: 用樣本標準差s取代母體標準差 9- 10

σ 已知，求母體平均的信賴區間 Confidence Intervals for a Mean, σ Known LO9-2 σ 已知，求母體平均的信賴區間 Confidence Intervals for a Mean, σ Known . 區間大小由信賴水準與平均數的標準差來決定。 The width of the interval is determined by the level of confidence and the size of the standard error of the mean. 而標準差受到下列二值的影響： The standard error is affected by two values: 標準差σ (Standard deviation) 樣本數 n (Number of observations in the sample) 9-*

常態母體資料的標準差σ已知 Q: 如何從樣本平均值推估未知的母體平均值？ 回想上章學到的… 已知分配為常態(分配未知但樣本夠大)，母體平均值、標準差已知， 當要推估樣本平均值抽樣分配所涵蓋的機率時，很容易將其標準化 因為我們知道： ～ N (ux, σx2/N) 如果 P (-A < < A) =95%，求A為多少？ = P (-1.96 < Z <1.96)=95% = P (-1.96 < ( - μx)/(σx/√n) < 1.96) =95% = P (μx -1.96(σx/√n) < < μx ＋1.96(σx/√n)）＝95％ 然而，在這章中，有個已知的 ，但 μx 未知： = P ( -1.96(σx/√n) < μx < ＋1.96(σx/√n)）＝95％ 此為95%信賴區間，包含母體平均值的機率為95％ 9-

信賴水準 P ( -1.96(σx/√n) < μx < ＋1.96(σx/√n)）＝95％ 信賴水準95％：此信賴區間，包含母體平均值的機率為95％ 若是信賴水準是99％？ P (-b < < b)=99% =P (-2.58 < Z < 2.58)=99% P ( -2.58(σx/√n) < μx < ＋2.58(σx/√n)）＝99％ 若是信賴水準是90％？ P ( -1.64(σx/√n) < μx < ＋1.64(σx/√n)）＝90％ 9-

影響信賴區間估計的因素： Factors Affecting Confidence Interval Estimates LO9-2 影響信賴區間估計的因素： Factors Affecting Confidence Interval Estimates 信賴區間的大小受到下列因素的影響： The width of a confidence interval is determined by: 樣本大小 (The sample size), n 母體的變異度/離散度 (The variability in the population, usually σ estimated by s) 信賴水準 (The desired level of confidence) 9-*

決定信賴區間的三個要素： 信賴水準的意義 (p.282) 1.The sample size, n. 95%信賴水準下，母體參數的信賴區間為 ±1.96(σx/√n) 信賴區間的大小會隨著樣本數不同而有所不同，若將全部可能的樣本平均值計算出所有的區間，若以95％為信賴水準，則表示： 在所有的區間中有95％的區間會包含母體參數，有5％的區間不包含母體參數。 e.g.如果選出100組樣本（各內含50位大學畢業生薪資)，然後計算各樣本的平均值。從各樣本平均值再推出各個相對應的信賴區間，共有100個信賴區間。 95％的這些信賴區間會涵蓋到母體平均值 注意：以上都是以隨機抽樣的方式抽出所有的樣本。 95％信賴區間表示母體參數有95％的機率（我們相信）落在此區間內 決定信賴區間的三個要素： 1.The sample size, n. 2.The variability in the population, usually σ estimated by s. 3.The desired level of confidence. 9- 17

A random sample of 49 managers reveals a sample mean of $45,420. The standard deviation of this population is $2,050. 母體平均值的最佳點估計為？ What is the best point estimate of the population mean? 因為我們不知道（也無從得知）母體平均值，於是，最佳估計值就是隨機抽樣的樣本統計值 Our best estimate of the unknown population mean is the corresponding sample statistic. 因此，樣本平均值$45,420為未知母體平均的點估計 The sample mean of $45,420 is the point estimate of the unknown population mean. 9-*

LO9-2 給定信賴水準後，如何查表找到z值 p.283 How to Obtain a z-value for a Given Confidence Level 查表得知：要求95％的信賴水準，對應的z值為1.96 （因為0.475*2=0.95) The 95 percent confidence refers to the middle 95 percent of the observations. Therefore, the remaining 5 percent are equally divided between the two tails. Following is a portion of Appendix B.3. 9-*

A random sample of 49 managers reveals a sample mean of $45,420. The standard deviation of this population is $2,050. 如何解釋信賴上下限：$45,846 與 $45,994？ What is the interpretation of the confidence limits $45,846 and $45,994? 若我們隨機抽49個經理作樣本，且抽出許多組樣本（每組都是49個樣本），每組樣本都算出樣本平均值，然後計算出各組的95％信賴區間，我們可以預期大約95％的區間內包含母體平均值µ（雖然我們並不知道µ＝？），且也可預期5％的區間不包含母體平均值µ 。 If we select many samples of 49 managers, and for each sample we compute the mean and then construct a 95 percent confidence interval, we could expect about 95 percent of these confidence intervals to contain the population mean. Conversely, about 5 percent of the intervals would not contain the population mean annual income, µ. 9-*

P. 286-288 電腦模擬範例 Town Bank多年經營汽車出租業，知道租4年合約的平均行駛距離為5萬英里，標準差為5千英里，以上為母體參數，若他想實驗看看抽樣來估算母體平均，於是，他抽30個樣本觀察值，用信賴區間來估計母體平均，據此實驗，我們想看看是否95％個區間會包含母體平均值，若抽60組，應該有57組會包含5萬英里。（為方便計算，單位：千英里） (Sol):用統計軟體抽60組隨機樣本(n=30)，σ /√n = 5 /√30 = 0.913 95%信賴區間列於287頁的表中，表中顯示：共有4組的95％信賴區間不包含5萬英里，故而僅56組（佔93.33％）包含母體平均值。 由此更可看出抽樣誤差的存在，或更進一步說：用特定一組隨機樣本來代表母體，可能還是會產生偏誤的問題，且即使用區間估計也是如此。 9-

t分配的特色 Characteristics of the t-distribution 1. 與 z 分配一樣，是連續分配 2. 與 z 分配一樣， 是鐘形對稱的分配 3. t分配也是一群分配，並非只有一個，且所有的t分配的平均值皆為0 ，樣本數愈少，標準差愈大 4. t分配比z分配的離散度更大，當樣本數增加時，t分配就漸漸接近z分配 9- 35

Using the t-Distribution: Confidence Intervals for a Mean, σ Unknown LO9-2 Using the t-Distribution: Confidence Intervals for a Mean, σ Unknown It is, like the z distribution, a continuous distribution. It is, like the z distribution, bell-shaped and symmetrical. There is not one t distribution, but rather a family of t distributions. All t distributions have a mean of 0, but their standard deviations differ according to the sample size, n. The t distribution is more spread out and flatter at the center than the standard normal distribution As the sample size increases, however, the t distribution approaches the standard normal distribution. 9-*

A Confidence Interval for a Population Proportion, LO9-3 A Confidence Interval for a Population Proportion, To develop a confidence interval for a population proportion, we need to meet the following assumptions. 1. The binomial conditions, discussed in Chapter 6, must be met. Briefly, these conditions are: a. The sample data is the result of counts. b. There are only two possible outcomes. c. The probability of a success remains the same from one trial to the next. d. The trials are independent. This means the outcome on one trial does not affect the outcome on another. 2. The values and should both be greater than or equal to 5. This condition allows us to invoke the central limit theorem and employ the standard normal distribution, that is, z, to compute a confidence interval for a population proportion. . 9-*
