Definitions:

Independent Samples

Multiple sets of data that are independently chosen from a population without affecting each other.

Pooled Estimate

A method in statistics used to combine different estimates of the same parameter to find a single, more precise estimate.

Standard Error

A statistical measure of the variance or standard deviation of a sample mean, indicating the precision with which a sample represents a population.

Assembly Lines

Manufacturing processes in which parts are added to a product in a sequential manner using optimally planned workflows to create a finished product much faster than with traditional methods.
