The data given below contain the state cigarette taxâ€‹ (in $) for all 20 regions of a country.

g100num [7]

Answer:

(a) $\bar x= 1.583$ -- Population Mean

(b) $s = 1.032$ --- Population standard deviation

(c) See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cigarette tax for 20 regions

Solving (a): The population mean

This is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

$\sum x = 1.36 + 1.70 + 2.50 + 0.45 + 1.18 + 0.64 + 3.46 + 0.57 + 2.00 + 0.80 + 1.60 +0.98 + 0.36 + 2.24 + 4.35 + 0.62 + 2.70 + 1.78 + 1.53 + 0.84$

$\sum x = 31.66$

$n = 20$

So, we have:

$\bar x= \frac{31.66}{20}$

$\bar x= 1.583$

Solving (b): The population standard deviation

This is calculated as:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum( x - \bar x)^2}{n}$

$\sum (x -\bar x)^2 = (1.36 - 1.583)^2 + (1.70 - 1.583)^2+ (2.50 - 1.583)^2+ (0.45 - 1.583)^2+ (1.18 - 1.583)^2+ (0.64 - 1.583)^2+ (3.46 - 1.583)^2+ (0.57 - 1.583)^2+ (2.00 - 1.583)^2+ (0.80 - 1.583)^2+ (1.60 - 1.583)^2+(0.98 - 1.583)^2+ (0.36 - 1.583)^2+ (2.24 - 1.583)^2+ (4.35 - 1.583)^2+ (0.62 - 1.583)^2+ (2.70 - 1.583)^2+ (1.78 - 1.583)^2+ (1.53 - 1.583)^2+ (0.84- 1.583)^2$

$\sum (x -\bar x)^2 = 21.29222$

So:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{21.2922}{20}$

$s = \sqrt{1.06461}$

$s = 1.032$

Solving (c):

Population mean tells the average amount while the standard deviation represents the spread from the calculated mean

Natalka [10]

In cases like these, you simply have to multiply the choices you have for each step.

In fact, you can choose between 4 different crusts. For each of these crusts you can choose 4 different sauces. This means that there are $4\cdot 4 = 16$ choices at this point. In fact, if we call the crust options 1,2,3,4 and the sauce options A,B,C,D, the 16 possible combinations are
