Hi Sorry if my question seem like a newbie question, but I'm dying to know if it is statistically sound to compare the mean and standard deviation of different sample sizes from a population.
I know all about the central limit theorum, and how the average sample mean will be normally distributed, but I don't know if it is useful to compare parameters of different samples that I don't know if they are independent or not . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
