Alright class, today we're tackling the challenge of estimating the population mean! But first, we need to know... what do we know about the variance?
Variance? Is that like... how spread out the data is?
Ah, the Z-test! For when we have all the information we need. Clean and efficient
Excellent question, Zack! If we know the population variance, like here, σ² is 25, we use the mighty Z-test!"
Yeah, it's the average of the squared differences from the mean. But... how do we know if we know it?"

Then, my dear Tina, we must rely on the trusty t-test. It's a bit more flexible.
But what if... we don't know the variance?
Ah, so the t-test is for when things get a little... uncertain?
Slide: 3
Now, let's say we have a large population, but it's not normally distributed. What do we do?
We take multiple samples, right? And then look at the distribution of the sample means?
Wow! The sample means are normally distributed! Even though the original population wasn't?
Precisely! That, my students, is the magic of the Central Limit Theorem! Now, we can use the Z-test or t-test on the sample means, depending on whether we know the variance!
