Extract
Consider a long, finite sequence xl, x2, …, xN of repeated measurements on the same physical quantity. The usual model is that the data consists of observed values on a sequence X1, X2, …, XN of independent and identically distributed random variables. It is customary to require that the Xi have a finite mean and variance: µ = E(Xi) is the ‘true value’ of the quantity being measured; and
measures the variability in the measuring process.
