You are a researcher who wants to know what the mean (µ) level of anxiety would be for the whole population if they were all receiving a new anti-anxiety therapy. You can’t give the therapy to the whole population, so you give it to a sample, and you get M = 32.1 as the average anxiety level for the sample on the therapy. What is the reason that you can’t just simply assume that µ = 32.1?
