If X ~ chi-square(k) then (2X)^0.5 is approximately normally distributed with mean (2k-1)^0.5 and unit variance (result credited to R. A. Fisher). 由这个和3.6可以推出3.8。我也没看明白书中的"using the same approximation”是什么意思。。。
The standard error is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic. The term may also be used to refer to an estimate of that standard deviation, derived from a particular sample used to compute the estimate.
