According to a recent publication, the mean price of new mobile homes is $63 comma 800. Assume a standard deviation of $7900.
1 answer:
Answer:
a. For n=25, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are $63,800 and $1,580, respectively.
b. For n=50, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are $63,800 and $1,117, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, for each sample size, we have a sampling distribution (a distribution for the population of sample means), with the following parameters:
For n=25 we have:
The spread of the sampling distribution is always smaller than the population spread of the individuals. The spread is smaller as the sample size increase.
This has the implication that is expected to have more precision in the estimation of the population mean when we use bigger samples than smaller ones.
If n=50, we have:

piece of cake, it's $0.37
all you have to do is divide $5.92 by 16 to figure out price per pound.
to check your answer multiply 0.37 by 16 and you'll get 5.92
note: if you were to divide 16 by $5.92 (inverse operation) you would be solving for pounds per each dollar, and the question asks to find what she paid for each pound not how many pounds she bought for each dollar she spent; since you're trying to figure out a certain price so you also divide by a price. I hope this makes sense
