Answer 1

Three students want to estimate the mean backpack weight of their schoolmates. To do this, they each randomly chose 8 schoolmates and weighed their backpacks. Then as per the given sample data,

(a) The sample means of the backpacks are: 6.375,6.375,6.625

(b) Range of sample means: 0.25

(c)The true statement is: The closer the range of the sample means is to 0, the less confident they can be in their estimate.

For the first sample, mean= 6.375

For the second sample, mean= 6.375

For the third sample, mean= 6.625

Range of sample means=Maximum Mean- Minimum Mean

                                        = 6.625 - 6.375

                                        = 0.25

The students will estimate the average backpack weight of their classmates using sample means, the true statement is:

The closer the range of the sample means is to 0, the more confident they can be in their estimate.
