Hi there!
We can set up a ratio to model the problem...
540/3000 = x/100
Now, just cross multiply and solve for x.
54000 = 3000x
x = 18
Therefore, 18 percent of last semester's college costs was spent on books. Hope this helped and have a great day!

) Explain why the sample midrange might be preferred to the sample mean as an estimator of the population mean.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

It is a good Estimator of the Population Mean because the distribution of the sample midrange is just same as the distribution of the random variable.

Step-by-step explanation: from the table,

Minimum value = 34

maximum values = 1084

The sample mid-range can be computed as:

(Min.value + max.value)/2

(34 + 1084)/2

Sample mid-range = 55

The sample midrange uses only a small portion of the data, but can be heavily affected by outliers.

It provides information about the skewness and heavy-tailedness of the distribution which is just same as the distribution of the random variable.

The nature of this distribution is not intuitive but the Central Limit in which it will approach a normal distribution for large sample size.
