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?

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 carpenter has a wooden dowel that is 72 centimeters long. She wants to cut it into 2 pieces so that one piece is 5 times as lo
Jobisdone [24]
Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME. IM STUCK IN A SUMMER SCHOOL AND IF I DONT GET GOOD GRADES ILL GET IN BIG TROUBLE AND IM TOTALLY LO
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

We know that in the box there are:

4 twix

3 kit-kat

Then the total number of candy in the box is:

4 +3 = 7

a)

Here we want to find the probability that we draw two twix.

All the candy has the same probability of being drawn from the box.

So, the probability of getting a twix in the first drawn, is equal to the quotient between the number of twix and the total number of candy in the box, this is:

p = 4/7

Now for the second draw, we do the same, but because we have already drawn one twix before, now the number of twix in the box is 3, and the total number of candy in the box is 6.

this time the probability is:

q = 3/6 = 1/2

The joint probability is the product of the individual probabilities, so here we have

P = p*q = (4/7)*(1/2) =  2/7

b) same reasoning than in the previous case:

For the first bar, the probability is:

p = 3/7

for the second bar, the probability is:

q = 2/6 = 1/3

The joint probability is:

P = p*q = (3/7)*(1/3) = 1/7

c) Suppose that first we draw a twix.

The probability we already know that is:

p = 4/7

Now we want another type, so we need to draw a kit-kat, the probability will be equal to the quotient between the remaining kit-kat bars (3) and the total number of candy in the box (6)

q = 3/6

The joint probability is:

P = p*q = (4/7)*(3/6) = 2/7

But, we also have the case where we first draw a kit-kat and after a twix, so we have a permutation of two, then the probability in this case is:

Probability = 2*P = 2*2/7 = 4/7

Incomes in a certain town are strongly right-skewed with mean $36,000 and standard deviation $7000. a random sample of 75 househ
Svet_ta [14]
Since the sample is greater than 10, we can approximate this binomial problem with a normal distribution.

First, calculate the z-score:

z = (x - μ) / σ = (37000 - 36000) / 7000 = 0.143

The probability P(x > 37000$) = 1 - P(<span>x < 37000$), 
therefore we need to look up at a normal distribution table in order to find 
P(z < 0.143) = 0.55567 
And 
</span>P(x > 37000$) = 1 - <span>0.55567 = 0.44433

Hence, there is a 44.4% probability that </span><span>the sample mean is greater than $37,000.</span>
