No country can support an infinite population, so it WILL be limited in some way.
2.
In this sense, the concept of population can be extended to continuous random variables with infinite populations.
3.
Smaller populations achieve fixation faster, whereas in the limit of an infinite population, fixation is not achieved.
4.
:: : What he's saying is " Suppose I have an infinite population of caterpillars, with m = 60, s = 5.
5.
By requiring measures to remain the same ( invariant ) across different tests measuring the same thing, Rasch models make it possible to test the hypothesis that the particular challenges posed in a curriculum and on a test coherently represent the infinite population of all possible challenges in that domain.
6.
In particular the 1965 paper with the innocent title " On the asymptotic behaviour of Bayes estimates in the discrete case II " finds the rather disappointing answer that when sampling from a countably infinite population the Bayesian procedure fails almost everywhere, i . e . one does not obtain the true distribution asymptotically.
7.
Once the " average value " is known, one could then ask how far from this average value the values of X typically are, a question that is answered by the variance and standard deviation of a random variable . \ operatorname { E } [ X ] can be viewed intuitively as an average obtained from an infinite population, the members of which are particular evaluations of X.
8.
And if a poll is taken some time afterwards, to estimate any shift in preference, is the size of sample required influenced in any way by the actual result ? ( Apparently, to achieve a margin of error of 3 %, at the 95 % level of confidence, a sample of " about 1000 " is required, even for infinite populations-so perhaps those last two questions are redundant . ) talk ) 18 : 29, 5 July 2016 ( UTC)
