Answer:

(E) The bias will decrease and the variance will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that researchers working the mean weight of a random sample of 800 carry-on bags to e the airline.

We have to find out the effect of increasing the sample size on variance and bias.

We know as per central limit theorem, sample mean follows a normal distribution with mean = sample mean

and std deviation of sample mean = std error = \frac{std dev}{\sqrt{n} }

Thus std error the square root of variance is inversely proportional to the square root of sample size.

Also whenever we increase sample size the chances of bias would decrease as the sample size becomes larger

So correct answer is both bias and variation will decrease.

(E) The bias will decrease and the variance will decrease.

kumpel [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

The T-shirt is launched with an initial upward velocity of 60 ft/s from a height of 5 feet. Its equation of motion is given by :

f(x) = -12x^2 + 60x + 5 ....(1)

(a) For maximum height, put \dfrac{df(x)}{dt}=0

So,

\dfrac{ d(-12x^2 + 60x + 5)}{dt}=-24x+60

Now put,

-24x+60=0\\\\x=2.5\ s

So, the time taken for the T-shirt to reach maximum height is 2.5 seconds.

(b) Put x = 2.5 s in equation (1)

f(x=2.5) = -12(2.5)^2 + 60(2.5) + 5\\\\f(x)=80\ \text{feet}

If 8% of all cell phones are defective, and you have a random sample group of 100 Samsung Galaxy Vills,
Sati [7]

Answer:

Mean = 8

Variance = 7.36

Standard Deviation = 2.7129

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution with parameters, n and p.

Where

n is sample size (given as 100)

p is the probability of success, or probability of defective (given as 8% or 0.08)

The mean, variance, standard deviation formula for binomial distribution is shown below:

Mean = np

Variance = npq

Standard Deviation = \sqrt{npq}

Where q would be probability of failure, or "1 - p"

Thus,

n = 100

p = 0.08

q = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

SO, we have:

Mean = np=100*0.08=8

Variance = npq=100*0.08*0.92 = 7.36

Standard Deviation = \sqrt{npq}=\sqrt{7.36}=2.7129
