And Said, "This Will All Have To Come Undone..."

Missy Higgins - Scar


Here's the opening sentence to a chapter in my Stats book:
"When a sample is drawn from a population with a known or estimated mean (m) and standard deviation (σ), the probability (or odds) that the mean of randomly drawn sample (X-bar) will lie within certain limits of m can be determined."

I'm sure this sentence makes sense. I just can't figure it out. As far as I can tell, they said a bunch of random statistical words, and added "can be determined" to make it a sentence.


Also, they spend 6 pages discussing the significance of F, but they never say what the fuck F is. Goodness gracious.
