Suppose we are trying to find out the mean of a certain population, $\mu$. For example, suppose we are interested in the game _eRebuild_ (https://mileresearch.coe.fsu.edu/erebuild) which aims to teach middle school students mathematics. Here $\mu$ would be how much a math a middle school student learns by playing the game. That is our target of inference. We will make three simplifying assumptions: * We can measure "math" ## Confidence Intervals
