Answer:

Point estimate for the population standard deviation = 0.036

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 5 strings of thread is randomly selected and the following thicknesses are measured in millimeters;

      X                             X - X bar                           (X-Xbar)^{2}    

    1.48                   1.48 - 1.502 = -0.022                 0.000484

    1.45                   1.45 - 1.502 = -0.052                 0.002704

    1.54                   1.54 - 1.502 = 0.038                  0.001444

    1.52                   1.52 - 1.502 = 0.018                  0.000324

    1.52                   1.52 - 1.502 = 0.018           <u>       0.000324      </u>

                                                                         <u>  Total = 0.00528   </u> 

Firstly, mean of the data above, X bar = \frac{\sum X}{n}  = \frac{7.51}{5} = 1.502

Standard deviation of data, S.D. = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (X-Xbar)^{2} }{n-1} }

                                                     = \sqrt{\frac{0.00528}{5-1} } = 0.036

Therefore, point estimate for the population standard deviation is 0.036 .

Answer:

s^2 = \frac{(1.48-1.502)^2 +(1.45-1.502)^2 +(1.54-1.502)^2 +(1.52-1.502)^2 +(1.52-1.502)^2}{5-1} =0.00132

And for the deviation we have:

s= \sqrt{0.00132}=0.0363

And that value represent the best estimator for the population deviation since:

E(s) =\sigma

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

1.48,1.45,1.54,1.52,1.52

The first step for this cae is find the sample mean with the following formula:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_}{n}

And replacing we got:

\bar X= \frac{1.48+1.45+1.54+1.52+1.52}{5} = 1.502

And now we can calculate the sample variance with the following formula:

s^2 =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}

And replacing we got:

s^2 = \frac{(1.48-1.502)^2 +(1.45-1.502)^2 +(1.54-1.502)^2 +(1.52-1.502)^2 +(1.52-1.502)^2}{5-1} =0.00132

And for the deviation we have:

s= \sqrt{0.00132}=0.0363

And that value represent the best estimator for the population deviation since:

E(s) =\sigma

Suppose you flip 3 quarters, one at a time. What is the probability that you will
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The probability of the combination {H, T and H} is 0.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of flipping a quarter is:

S = {H and T}

The probability of both outcomes is same, i.e. P (H) = P (T) = 0.50.

It is provided that three quarters are flipped one at a time.

The outcomes of all the three quarters are independent of each other.

Compute the probability of the combination {H, T and H} as follows:

P(\text{H},\text{T and H}) = P(\text{H})\times P(\text{T})\times P(\text{H})

                        =0.50\times 0.50\times 0.50\\=0.125

Thus, the probability of the combination {H, T and H} is 0.125.
