Complete question :
Mr. Nelson lost one of his students' test papers. He knows that the other 4 students scored as follows: 60, 62, 56, 57. He also knows that the average score is 59.2. What is the score on the missing paper?
Answer:
61
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Total number of students = 4 + 1 missing = 5
Score on the four avaliable papers = 60, 62, 56, 57
Average score of the 5 papers = 59.2
Score on missing paper :
Sum of each score / number of papers
Sum of each score = sum of available scores + missing score
Let missing score = m
(60 + 62 + 56 + 57 + m) = 235 + m
Recall:
Average = total sum / number of observations
Hence,
59.2 = (235 + m) / 5
59.2 × 5 = 235 + m
296 = 235 + m
m = 296 - 235
m = 61
Missing score = 61
Answer:
The point estimate for this problem is 0.48.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a University wanted to find out the percentage of students who felt comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students.
A survey of 2,800 students was conducted and the students were asked if they felt comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students. The results were 1,344 answered "Yes" and 1,456 answered "no".
<em>Let </em>
<em> = proportion of students who felt comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students</em>
<u></u>
<u>Now, point estimate (</u><u>) is calculated as;</u>
where, X = number of students who answered yes = 1,344
n = number of students surveyed = 2,800
So, Point estimate () = 
= <u>0.48 or 48%</u>

Answer: a) -27, b) 35, c) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
a) When a positive number is multiplied by a negative number, your answer is negative, and since we know that 9 × 3 = 27, and that this figure has to be negative (since 9 is negative), the answer is -27.
b) Multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number, and since 7 × 5 = 35, the answer is positive 35 (as both 7 and 5 in the original question are negative).
c) Follows just like b.
