Example of pooled sample estimate


Equations are omitted for technical reasons - download the original pdf

Samples of size 30 and 40 are taken from a population with unknown mean, [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.], and unknown variance [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.]. Using the data from the two samples, find the unbiased estimates of the mean and variance of the population. Sample 1 [Table goes here &- download the original to see it.] Sample 2 [Table goes here &- download the original to see it.] Solution Firstly, we calculate the individual sample statistics. [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] Then, [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] The pooled unbiased estimator of the population mean is 16.51 (2 D.P.) and the pooled unbiased estimator of the population variance is 2.22 (2 D.P.)
