Answer:

\bar X = \frac{17+12+9+16+14}{5}= 13.6min

So then the best answer for this case would be:

a. 13.6 minutes

Explanation:

For this case we have the following data for the response rates:

17,12,9,16,14

And we want to calculate the mean response time for 911 calls in this village.

And for this case we use we can use the definition of sample mean given by:

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

Where n = 5 represent the sample size for this case. If we replace we got:

\bar X = \frac{17+12+9+16+14}{5}= 13.6min

So then the best answer for this case would be:

a. 13.6 minutes

The sample mean is an estimator unbiased of the population mean because:

E(\bar X) = E(\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n E(X_i) = \frac{n\mu}{n}= \mu

For this reason is a good statistic if we want to see central tendency in a group of values.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

e. $153,156

Explanation:

From 9/1/14, he needs $50,000 every year for 4 years to fund the tuition fees. Therefore, present value of the amount needed at 9/1/14 using the Present value of annuity due formula

= 50,000 * {1+ (1/(1.05)^4) } / 0.05 * (1.05)

= $186,162

$186,162 is the amount needed after 4 years. Amount you need to invest today to have this amount in four years = $186,162/(1.05)^4 = $186,162/1.21550625 = $153,156.40
