Answer:
(assuming this isn't actually for math?) but one reason is bc science shouldn't be always taken as fact. science can be wrong.
Explanation:
not all but many scientists are skeptical and won't accept anything without proof, and even when things are accepted as right they can still be wrong later. example: humans once believed the planets revolved around the earth and that the earth was flat (even, some people still believe the earth is flat today....) but both those things are generally unaccepted today.
science shouldn't be viewed as fact always, because accepting everything as fact will lead to misassumptions and false information. it's like we should never take things for granted
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP 1
Mean =
STEP 2
Subtract the mean from each data value then square the answer

STEP 3
Add the squared answers in STEP 2 then find the mean
STEP 4
Square root the answer in STEP 3
Standard deviation is 236.5
The answer to this would be 1/5.

The manager at a golf course found that the population mean length of the holes at the golf courses is 415.9 yd. In this context, is the number 415.9 a parameter or a statistic?
Answer: The number 415.9 is a parameter because it represents the population characteristic.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Parameter: Parameters are numbers that summarize the entire population. For example the population mean summarizes the entire population, similarly population standard deviation describes the characteristic of entire population.
Statistic: Statistic are numbers that describes the sample. For example, the sample mean summarizes the sample which is drawn from the population, similarly the sample standard deviation describes the characteristic of sample.
Therefore, the population mean length of the holes at the golf courses (415.9 yd) is parameter.
