Answer:

a) For this case we can use the definition of weighted average given by:

M = \frac{ \bar X_1 n_1 + \bar X_2 n_2}{n_1 +n_2}

And if we replace the values given we have:

M = \frac{8*4 + 16*4}{4+4}= 12

b) M = \frac{8*3 + 16*5}{3+5}= 13

c) M = \frac{8*5 + 16*3}{5+3}= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following question: "One sample has a mean of M=8 and a second sample has a mean of M=16 . The two samples are combined into a single set of scores.

a) What is the mean for the combined set if both of the original samples have n=4 scores "

For this case we can use the definition of weighted average given by:

M = \frac{ \bar X_1 n_1 + \bar X_2 n_2}{n_1 +n_2}

And if we replace the values given we have:

M = \frac{8*4 + 16*4}{4+4}= 12

b) what is the mean for the combined set if the first sample has n=3 and the second sample has n=5

Using the definition we have:

M = \frac{8*3 + 16*5}{3+5}= 13

c) what is the mean for the combined set if the first sample has n=5 and the second sample has n=3

Using the definition we have:

M = \frac{8*5 + 16*3}{5+3}= 11

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

50% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{(V_2-V_1)}{|V_1|} \times 100

= \dfrac{(5 - 10)}{|10|} \times 100

= \dfrac{-5}{10} \times 100

= -0.5 \times 100

= -50\% \; \text{change}
