Do the sample standard deviations target the value of the population standard​ deviation? In​ general, do sample standard deviat

ions make good estimators of population standard​ deviations? Why or why​ not?
Mathematics

Answer:

If the mean of the sample standard deviations is equal to the population standard​ deviation, then the sample standard deviations target the population standard deviation and are called an unbiased estimator.  

If the mean of the sample standard deviations is not equal to the population standard​ deviation, then the sample standard deviations target the population standard deviation and are called a biased estimator.

A biased estimator regularly underestimates or overestimates the parameter.  

  • An unbiased sample statistics are good​ estimators
  • A biased sample statistics are not good estimators.

A construction company paid $85,000 for a new fork lift. The fork lift depreciates at a rate of 15% per year. How long will it t
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

  13.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay rate is 15%, so the decay factor is 1 - 15% = 0.85. Then the exponential equation for the value is ...

  v(t) = 85000·0.85^t

We can set v(t) = 10,000 and solve for t:

  10000 = 85000·0.85^t

  10000/85000 = 0.85^t . . . . divide by 85000

  log(2/17) = t·log(0.85) . . . . . .reduce fraction, take logs

  t = log(2/17)/log(0.85) ≈ 13.2

It will take about 13.2 years for the value to fall below $10,000.

Of 60 students, 24 students have a pet. What is the ratio of students with pets to students without pets?
frosja888 [35]

Answer

Find out the what is the ratio of students with pets to students without pets .

To prove

As given

of 60 students, 24 students have a pet.

Thus Total number of student = 60

students have pets = 24

students without  pets = 60 - 24

                                 = 36

Now  ratio of students with pets to students without pets .

\frac{Student\ with\ pets}{Students\ without\ pets} = \frac{24}{36}

simplify the above

\frac{Student\ with\ pets}{Students\ without\ pets} = \frac{2}{3}

Therefore the  ratio of students with pets to students without pets be 2:3 .

Hence proved
