All about the sampling distribution of the sample mean

Consider the fact though that pulling one sample from a population could produce a statistic that isn’t a good estimator of the corresponding population parameter. To correct for this, instead of taking just one sample from the population, we’ll take lots and lots of samples, and create a sampling distribution of the sample mean.

Surface area of revolution around the x-axis and y-axis

We can use integrals to find the surface area of the three-dimensional figure that’s created when we take a function and rotate it around an axis and over a certain interval. The formulas we use to find surface area of revolution are different depending on the form of the original function and the axis of rotation.

Quotient rule for exponents to simplify fractions

This is the rule we use when we’re dividing one exponential expression by another exponential expression. The quotient rule tells us that we have to subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator, but the bases have to be the same.

U-substitution to solve definite integrals

U-substitution in definite integrals is just like substitution in indefinite integrals except that, since the variable is changed, the limits of integration must be changed as well. If you don’t change the limits of integration, then you’ll need to back-substitute for the original variable at the end.
