sample mean

Is it ethical to make health recommendations based on a sample mean when those off the regression curve might be harmed?

It is now a widely used concept in statistics, describing how measurements of a sample mean will tend towards the population mean when done in sufficient numbers, although there may be large variations in individual measurements.

In particular, we have proposed a simple model that just imposes a gradual return of the real exchange rate to its sample mean.

In the United States, being jobless increases the propensity to agree by about 11 percentage points, to 38 percent from the sample mean of 27 percent, after controlling for other factors like income and education.

In each sample mean, standard error, standard deviation, and extremes are shown.
