Answer:

1. Parameter because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a population

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter is a fixed measure which <u>describes the whole population</u> while a statistic is a <u>characteristic of a sample</u> (which is a portion of the target population).

In a study of all 1963 employees at a college, it is found that "40%" own a computer.

The study involved the entire population of employees in the college, therefore the result describes the computer owning <u>characteristics of the whole population under study</u>. It is therefore a parameter.

<u>The correct option is 1.</u>

Select the correct answer. Twenty students in Class A and 20 students in Class B were asked how many hours they took to prepare
Lunna [17]

Answer:

B: The mean study time of students in Class B is less than students in Class A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out why answer B is the right answer, I will give you facts from each option.

Option A is false. <em>The mean study time in Class A is 4.8. Meanwhile in Class B it is 4. For Class A, sum up the 20 study times which is 96 and divide them by 20, you will get 4.8 hours of mean study time. For Class B, the sum of the 20 study times is 80, which divided by 20 will be 4. </em>

Option B is True. <em>See previous explanation. </em>

Option C is False. <em>The median study time in Class B is 4. The median study time in Class A is 4.8, </em>

Option D is False. <em>The range in Class A is from 2 to 8. The range in Class B is from 2 to 7. </em>

Option E is False: <em>The mean and median study time of these classes is different.</em>

The dimensions of the nations smallest post office are 8 feet 4 inches by 7 feet 3 inches why would you use the measurement 8 fe
viva [34]

Answer:

Because 16 inches is one foot and 4 inches, as there are 12 inches in a foot. So this one foot is added to the 7 inches. Or otherwise we can say: a hundred inches (100 in).

Step-by-step explanation:

If we tell the length in feet, only the rest of the integer number of feet is expressed in inches.
