Definitions:

Normally Distributed

A symmetric probability distribution centered around the mean, demonstrating that occurrences near the mean happen more often than those at a distance.

Population Variances

A measure of how data points in a population are spread out, indicating the variability of the entire population.

Confidence Interval Estimate

An interval estimate is a range of values used to estimate a population parameter, typically defined by two numbers between which a population parameter is said to lie with a certain level of confidence.

Normally Distributed Populations

Populations in which the variables of interest follow a distribution that conforms to the properties of a normal curve, implying a symmetric distribution of data around the mean.
