When a statistic calculated from sample data is used to estimate a population parameter, it is called a point estimate?

The sample statistic which we use to estimate population parameter is called point estimate. Because we use single sample statistic to make estimate about population parameter . It gives particular single value which we can use as estimate of population parameter, hence it is called point estimate.

Ex: Suppose we have population mean and we use sample mean to find estimate population mean. Then Population mean is called parameter, sample mean is statistic. And as we have used sample mean as estimate of population mean , sample mean is called as point estimate.

Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

<u>The ordered pair of the solution is (0.022, -0.55). None of the alternatives given we can consider as the best estimate because there isn't at least one positive value for x, when it's actually positive. Picking (0, -2) as the best estimate is also far from the best estimate.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the system of equations:

y = −25x

−2y = 5x+1

***********************

Substituting y in the 2nd equation:

-2 (-25x) = 5x + 1

50x = 5x + 1

45x = 1

x = 1/45

x = 0.022

**********************

Solving for y in the 1st equation:

y = -25 (0.022)

y = - 0.55

<u>The ordered pair of the solution is (0.022, -0.55). None of the alternatives given we can consider as the best estimate because there isn't at least one positive value for x, when it's actually positive. Picking (0, -2) as the best estimate is also far from the best estimate.</u>

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th
IgorC [24]

Answer:

9.99\text{secs}

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the time the rocket will hit the ground

What we have to do is to substitute 0 for the height of the rocket y and solve the quadratic equation that results

That simply means we are solving for:

0=-16x^2+149x+108

We can use the quadratic formula to solve this

x\text{ = }\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

where a is the coefficient of x^2 which is -16

b is the coefficient of x which is 149

c is the last number which is 108

Substituting the values, we have it that:

\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }\frac{-149\pm\sqrt[]{149^2-4(-16)(108)}}{2(-16)} \\  \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-149\pm\sqrt[]{29113}}{-32}\text{ } \\  \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-149-170.625\text{   }}{-32} \\ or\text{ } \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-149_{}+170.625}{-32} \end{gathered}

Now, we proceed to get the individual x-values:

\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }\frac{-149-170.625}{-32}\text{ = 9.99 } \\ or \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-149+170.625}{-32}\text{ = -0.68} \end{gathered}

Since time cannot be negative, we use the first value only

An angle measures 20° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
nevsk [136]

Supplementary angles sum to 180 degrees.

So if one angle is 20 degree more than the other...

x+(x+20)=180

2x+20=180

2x=160

x=80

x+20=100

answer: 80° and 100°
