Private colleges and universities rely on money contributed by individuals and corporations for their operating expenses. Much o

f this money is put into a fund called an endowment, and the college spends only the interest earned by the fund. A recent survey of 8 private colleges in the United States revealed the following endowments (in millions of dollars): 60.2, 47.0, 235.1, 490.0, 122.6, 177.5, 95.4, and 220.0. What value will be used as the point estimate for the mean endowment of all private colleges in the United States?

Answer:

The value will be used as the point estimate for the mean endowment of all private colleges in the United States is of 180.975 millions of dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a sample, the mean of the sample is used as the point estimate for the mean of the entire population.

What value will be used as the point estimate for the mean endowment of all private colleges in the United States?

We have to find the mean of the 8 colleges. So

M = \frac{60.2 + 47.0 + 235.1 + 490.0 + 122.6 + 177.5 + 95.4 + 220.0}{8} = 180.975

The value will be used as the point estimate for the mean endowment of all private colleges in the United States is of 180.975 millions of dollars.

KonstantinChe [14]
<span>Standard deviation of first data set = 5879.1 Standard deviation of second data set = 14768.78 The second data set is more variable. The basic definition of standard deviation is the square root of the mean of the squares of the difference from the mean. It's a bit of a mouthful, but easy enough to do. For the first data set, first calculate the mean. (28995 + 37534 + 31361 + 27087 + 20966 + 37741) / 6 = 30614 Now calculate the square of the differences from the mean (28995 - 30614)^2 = 2621161 (37534 - 30614)^2 = 47886400 (31361 - 30614)^2 = 558009 (27087 - 30614)^2 = 12439729 (20966 - 30614)^2 = 93083904 (37741 - 30614)^2 = 50794129 And now the average of the squares (2621161 + 47886400 + 558009 + 12439729 + 93083904 +50794129) / 6 = 34563888.67 And finally, take the square root to get the standard deviation. sqrt(34563888.67) = 5879.1 Now for the second data set of western states. First, the mean (72964 + 70763 + 101510 + 62161 + 66625 + 54339) / 6 = 71393.67 Now the squares of the differences (72964 - 71393.67)^2 = 2465946.778 (70763 - 71393.67)^2 = 397740.4444 (101510 - 71393.67)^2 = 906993533.4 (62161 - 71393.67)^2 = 85242133.78 (66625 - 71393.67)^2 = 22740181.78 (54339 - 71393.67)^2 = 290861655.1 And the average of the squares is 218116865.2 Finally, the square root of the average is 14768.78 So the standard deviation of the 2nd data set is 14768.78 And since the standard deviation of the 2nd data set is larger than the standard deviation of the 1st data set, that means that the 2nd data set is more variable.</span>

An Easter basket contains eggs of three different colors. Find the total number of eggs in the basket if 2 7 of all eggs are gre
sashaice [31]

Answer:

56 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

If \frac{2}{7} of all eggs are green, \frac{1}{4} of all are blue, then

1-\dfrac{2}{7}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{28-2\cdot 4-7}{28}=\dfrac{13}{28}

of all eggs are red.

We know that there are 26 red eggs

26\text{ eggs }-\dfrac{13}{28}\\ \\x\text{ eggs }- 1[=\dfrac{28}{28}]

Make a proportion

\dfrac{26}{x}=\dfrac{\frac{13}{28}}{1}\\ \\26\cdot 1=x\cdot \dfrac{13}{28}\ [\text{Cross multiply}]\\ \\13x=26\cdot 28\ [\text{Multiply by 28 to get rid of fraction}]\\ \\x=\dfrac{26\cdot 28}{13}\ [\text{Divide by 13 to get x}]\\ \\x=2\cdot 28\\ \\x=56
