Answer:

  less than 1 1/2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, so the sum of the three cans is more than 1 by the difference between 1/5 and 1/6. That difference is 1/30 gallon. The sum is 1 1/30 gallons, which is less than 1 1/2 gallons.

__

A suitable common denominator is 2·3·5 = 30. Then the sum of the fractions is ...

  1/3 + 1/5 + 1/2

  = 10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30

  = 31/30 = 1 1/30 . . . . . less than 1 1/2

In decimal, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, 1/5 = 0.200, 1/2 = 0.500, so the sum is ...

  0.333 +0.200 +0.500 = 1.033

which is less than 1.5.

) Explain why the sample midrange might be preferred to the sample mean as an estimator of the population mean.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

It is a good Estimator of the Population Mean because the distribution of the sample midrange is just same as the distribution of the random variable.

Step-by-step explanation: from the table,

Minimum value = 34

maximum values = 1084

The sample mid-range can be computed as:

(Min.value + max.value)/2

(34 + 1084)/2

Sample mid-range = 55

The sample midrange uses only a small portion of the data, but can be heavily affected by outliers.

It provides information about the skewness and heavy-tailedness of the distribution which is just same as the distribution of the random variable.

The nature of this distribution is not intuitive but the Central Limit in which it will approach a normal distribution for large sample size.
