We have previously discussed the importance of estimating uncertainty in our measurements and incorporating it into data analysis 1. To know the extent to which we can generalize our observations, we ...

It is believed that new types of computing machines will be constructed to exploit quantum mechanics for an exponential speed advantage in solving certain problems compared with classical computers 9.

Central Limit Theorem: A sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normally distributed if the sample size is sufficiently large. This is true no matter what the population distribution is.

Example 1: The population from which samples are selected is {1,2,3,4,5,6}. This population has a mean of 3.5 and a standard deviation of 1.70783. The next display shows a histogram of the population.

Describe the abstract idea of a sampling distribution and how it reflects the sample to sample variability of a sample statistic or point estimate. Identify the ...

For over a decade, researchers have considered boson sampling—a quantum computing protocol involving light particles—as a key milestone toward demonstrating the advantages of quantum methods over ...
