Answer:
Generally an unbiased statistic is preferred over a biased statistic. This is because there is a long run tendency of the biased statistic to under/over estimate the true value of the population parameter. Unbiasedness does not guarantee that an estimator will be close to the population parameter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Count the total number of students who prefer fiction novels: In 9th grade there are 35, in 10th grade there are 52, so there are 87 students who prefer fictions. The proportion of 10th grade students out of these 87 students is 52/87=0.60 approximately.
This is a combination problem.

Answer:
<em>y = - 0.5 | x - 5 | + 2</em><em> </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = |x|
step - shifts right 5 units: g(x + 5) = | x <u><em>- 5</em></u> |
step - shifts up 2 units: g(x + 5) + 2 = | x - 5 | <u><em>+ 2</em></u>
step - reflected: - g(x + 5) + 2 =<em> - </em>| x - 5 | + 2
step - stretched by 0.5: <em>y = - </em><u><em>0.5</em></u><em> | x - 5 | + 2</em>
<em>y = - 0.5 | x - 5 | + 2</em>
