To find the number of days, divide the total swam by the average:
Days = 48 / 3.2 = 15
They swam for 15 days.
Answer:
The true statement about Kendra's sample is:
b) Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Average age of dogs currently alive = 4.8 years
Average ages of dogs in Kendra's sample
Week Average Age (in years)
1 3.7
2 3.8
3 4.2
4 4.1
5 3.9
6 3.9
7 4.0
Total 27.6
Mean = 3.9 (27.6/7)
b) Accuracy refers to how close Kendra's sample mean age of dogs is to the average age value as stated in the Modern Dog Magazine. While the Magazine stated an average age of 4.8 years, Kendra's sample produced a mean of 3.9 years. On the other hand, precision refers to how close Kendra's sample measurements are to each other. With a mean of 3.9 years, the sample measurements are very close to each other. Therefore, we can conclude that "Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate."
