TITLE: | Proof of the non-existence of a fixed-sample-size fixed-width confidence interval for the unknown mean of a normal distribution with unknown variance |
Abstract
We will show that there exists no fixed-sample-size fixed-width confidence interval for the unknown mean of a normal distribution when the variance is unknown.
