INDEPENDENT SAMPLE


Meaning of INDEPENDENT SAMPLE in English

eg: We want to estimate the difference between the mean salaries of all male and all female executives. We draw one sample from the population of male executives and another from the population of female executives. These two samples are independent because they come from different populations and the samples have no effect on each other.
