Answer:

A parameter is a numerical measurement describing data from a population. A statistic is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics we have to deal with populations and samples to carry out our studies. A population is a large group under consideration and the elements or members of the population have some common features or attributes. For example, all the school going kids in a certain town will be considered a population. Sample on the other hand is a subset(a part) of the population. For example, all school going kids in the town aged 5-6 years will be considered a sample.

The term Parameter and Statistic are very similar as they represent some numeric description. Parameter represents the data of the entire population, while statistic represents that data of a sample. An easy way to remember this is to match the initials i.e. Parameter for Population and Statistic for Sample.

Considering this, we can say the correct answer is:

A parameter is a numerical measurement describing data from a population. A statistic is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample

On a journey of 600 km, a train was delayed 1 hour and 30 min after having covered 1/4 of the way. To arrive on time at the dest
Sati [7]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

(150/x) + 1.5 + (450/(x+15)) = 600/x

Multiply through by x(x + 15):

150(x + 15) + 1.5x(x + 15) + 450x = 600(x + 15)

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x = 600x + 9000

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x - 600x - 9000 = 0

1.5x^2 + 22.5x - 6750 = 0

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(22.5^2 - 4(1.5)(-6750))) / (2*1.5)

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(506.25 + 40500)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(41006.25)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- 202.5) / 3

x = 180/3 or -225/3

x = 60 or -75

But a negative number doesn't make sense, so therefore x = 60, so the journey took 600/60 = 10  hours.

Anne is running on a trail at an average speed of 6 miles per hour beginning at mile marker 4. John is running on the trail at t
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

John is running faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Average Speed of Anne = 6 miles per hour

Speed of John can be represented in the table below:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c}Time (hours) x & Mile Marker y \\ 0 & 1  \\  0.5 & 4.5  \\   1 & 8  \\ 1.5 & 11.5  \\\end{tabular}\end{center}

To find:

Who is running faster of the both i.e. Anne and John?

Solution:

Here, to find the faster runner we can compare the average speed of both the runners.

We are given that, average speed of Anne = 6 miles per hour

We will have to calculate the average speed of John to find the faster runner.

<em>Average speed</em> can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled with the total time taken.

Total distance traveled by John = 11.5 - 1 = 10.5 miles

Total time taken by John = 1.5 hours

Average speed of John = \frac{10.5}{1.5} = 7\ miles/hr

Clearly Average speed of John is greater than that of Anne's.

Therefore, <em>John runs faster</em>.

Lina is making a trail mix of a hiking trip. She has 2 1/2 cups of peanuts, 3 1/4 cups of raisins, and 2 2/3 cups of banana chip
Mila [183]

Answer: 8 cups of trail mix

Step-by-step explanation: Convert 2 1/2, 3 1/4, and 2 2/3 to decimals—2.5, 3.25, and 2.67. Then add them together to get 8.42. You need to round to 8, because you can only have a exact numbers of cups.

Hope this helps:)
