Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
It is well known, and fundamentally important in the justification of the current mode of deriving Student's t-distribution, that the mean m of n values xi all obeying the same normal law of probability, and the associated estimate of variance, namely
are statistically independent.
