#15(A)
First Bike
$380 - $190 ($380 * 0.50) = $190
2nd Bike
$380 - $114 ( $380 * 0.30) = $266
$266 - $53.20 ($266 * 0.20) = $212.80
#15 (B)
Eliza should buy the first bike because it is cheaper. $190 < $212.80
#16
$57 + $28.50 ($57 * .50) = $85.50
Take the 4cm side and the 6cm side.
If you hook them together at one end, then there's no way they can reach the ends of the 11cm side. The farthest they can reach is 10cm.
That's what choice-B says.
Answer:
0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
-8.1+8.9=0.8
so the answer is 0.8
Answer:
Bias for the estimator = -0.56
Mean Square Error for the estimator = 6.6311
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - A normally distributed random variable with mean 4.5 and standard deviation 7.6 is sampled to get two independent values, X1 and X2. The mean is estimated using the formula (3X1 + 4X2)/8.
To find - Determine the bias and the mean squared error for this estimator of the mean.
Proof -
Let us denote
X be a random variable such that X ~ N(mean = 4.5, SD = 7.6)
Now,
An estimate of mean, μ is suggested as

Now
Bias for the estimator = E(μ bar) - μ
= 
= 
= 
= 
= 
= 3.9375 - 4.5
= - 0.5625 ≈ -0.56
∴ we get
Bias for the estimator = -0.56
Now,
Mean Square Error for the estimator = E[(μ bar - μ)²]
= Var(μ bar) + [Bias(μ bar, μ)]²
= 
= 
= ![\frac{1}{64} ( [{3Var(X_{1}) + 4Var(X_{2})] }) + 0.3136](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B64%7D%20%28%20%5B%7B3Var%28X_%7B1%7D%29%20%2B%204Var%28X_%7B2%7D%29%5D%20%20%7D%29%20%2B%200.3136)

= 
= 6.6311
∴ we get
Mean Square Error for the estimator = 6.6311
