Selecting Samples

A simple random sample of size n from a finite population of size N is a sample selected such that each possible sample of size n has the same probability of being selected.

A random sample of size n from an infinite population is a sample selected such that the following conditions are satisfied.

Point Estimation

By making the preceding computations, we perform the statistical procedure called point estimation. We refer to the sample mean x as the point estimator of the population mean m, the sample standard deviation s as the point estimator of the population standard deviation s, and the sample proportion p as the point estimator of the population proportion p. The numerical value obtained for x, s, or p is called the point...

Decolonization

Definition

Process that began in 1945 and led to the dismantlement of the colonial empires and the independence of their colonies. It affected over half of the world's surface.

Causes

1. World War II: Colonies became aware of their own importance as their colonizers' prestige was reduced.
2. Nationalist Movements: After the war, nationalistic ideas fueled by liberalism and Marxism spread through colonies.
3. Emergence of Charismatic Leaders: The elites of many colonized nations had studied in European universities. When they returned, they formed political parties and took the lead in the independence process.
4. International Support: Support grew from groups of intellectuals, Christians, international movements, and the newly created UN.

The Unification of Germany (1815–1871)

Following the 1815 Congress of Vienna, an association of German states known as The German Confederation was established. After the failed 1848 revolutions, German nationalists were divided as to how Germany should be unified:

• The Greater Germany Solution: Centered on Austria as the leading Catholic power.
• The Lesser Germany Solution: Excluded Austria and was led by Prussia, the dominant Protestant power.

Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck successfully managed to unify Lesser Germany through a series of decisive wars with neighboring states.

Bismarck's Wars of Unification

1. German-Danish War (1864)

   This conflict secured territory and set the stage for future Prussian dominance.

2. Austro-Prussian War (1866)
