The manager at a golf course found that the population mean length of the holes at the golf courses is 415.9 yd. In this context, is the number 415.9 a parameter or a statistic?
Answer: The number 415.9 is a parameter because it represents the population characteristic.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Parameter: Parameters are numbers that summarize the entire population. For example the population mean summarizes the entire population, similarly population standard deviation describes the characteristic of entire population.
Statistic: Statistic are numbers that describes the sample. For example, the sample mean summarizes the sample which is drawn from the population, similarly the sample standard deviation describes the characteristic of sample.
Therefore, the population mean length of the holes at the golf courses (415.9 yd) is parameter.
Answer:
a.) Time = 6 hours
b.) Average Speed = 410 miles per hours
c.) Distance = 196 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3><u>a.</u>)</h3>
A coach drives 360 miles at a speed of 60 mph.
So,
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Time = 360 ÷ 60
Time = 6 hours
<h3>
<u>b.</u>)</h3>
A plan flies 1640 miles in 4 hours.
So,
Average Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Average Speed = 1640 ÷ 4
Average Speed = 410 miles per hours
<h3>
<u>c.</u>)</h3>
A bus drives 3½ hour at an average Speed of 56 mph.
So,
3½ hour = 3.5 hour
Distance = Average Speed × Time
Distance = 56 × 3.5
Distance = 196 miles
