Intro to Confidence Intervals for One Mean (Sigma Known)

An introduction to confidence intervals for the population mean mu. These methods are appropriate when we are sampling from a normally distributed population, where the population standard deviation sigma is known. When the population standard deviation is not known, as is usually the case, we need to use a slightly different method (a method based on the t distribution). The 2D:4D ratio data (from the right hand) is simulated data with the same summary statistics as found in: Stevenson et al. (2007).
