(B) the 75 randomly selected students
(C) the mean number of siblings for the randomly selected students
(D) the mean number of siblings for all students in the school
(E) all the students in the school

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) the specific number of siblings for each randomly selected student

Step-by-step explanation:

First Timothy wants to estimate the mean number of siblings for each student in his school

So he selected a random sample of 75 students, then recorded the number of siblings they have

He later find the mean.

You can see the mean was obtained from the selected group not all students in the school hence option D and E are not correct.

Option A clearly indicates a mean was obtained for the siblings that were from the randomly selected students.
