Answer:

Sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To yield a more accurate estimate of the population mean, margin of error should be minimized.

margin of error (ME) of the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in the given confidence level(z-score or t-score)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample (or of the population if it is known)
  • N is the sample size

for a given confidence level, and the same standard deviation, as the sample size increases, margin of error decreases.

Thus, random sample of 50 people from population A, has smaller margin of error than the sample of 20 people from population B.

Therefore, sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

A cell phone provider offers a plan that costs ​$30 per month plus ​$0.10 per text message sent or received. A comparable plan c
mariarad [96]

300 messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plan to cost same each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost per month = $30

Per text sent or received charges = $0.10

Let,

x be the number of texts sent or received.

A(x) = 0.10x+30    

A comparable plan costs = $60 per month

Text messages are unlimited.

B(x) = 60

For the two plans to cost equal;

A(x) = B(x)

0.10x+30=60\\0.10x=60-30\\0.10x=30

Dividing both sides by 0.10

\frac{0.10x}{0.10}=\frac{30}{0.10}\\x=300

300 messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plan to cost same each month.
