Answer:
Option B) data from the sample is used to estimate the population parameter
Step-by-step explanation:
Point estimation:
- Its is the process of getting a point estimate from a sample that describes a population parameter in the best way.
- We calculate the unknown population parameter with the help of a sample drawn from the population.
- It is similar to interval estimation.
- In interval estimation we obtain an interval in which the population parameter may lie but in point estimation we obtain a single value which is the best approximation of population parameter.
Thus, the correct answer is
Option B) data from the sample is used to estimate the population parameter

Answer: Choice D) -$22</h3>
You'll lose on average $22 per roll.
====================================================
Explanation:
Normally there is a 1/6 chance to land on any given side of a standard die, but your friend has loaded the die in a way to make it have a 40% chance to land on "1" and an equal chance to land on anything else. Since there's a 40% chance to land on "1", this leaves 100% - 40% = 60% for everything else.
Let's define two events
- A = event of landing on "1".
- B = event of landing on anything else (2 through 6).
So far we know that P(A) = 0.40 and P(B) = 0.60; I'm using the decimal form of each percentage.
The net value of event A, which I'll denote as V(A), is -100 since you pay $100 when event A occurs. So we'll write V(A) = -100. Also, we know that V(B) = 30 and this value is positive because you receive $30 if event B occurs.
To recap things so far, we have the following:
- P(A) = 0.40
- P(B) = 0.60
- V(A) = -100
- V(B) = 30
Multiply the corresponding probability and net value items together
- P(A)*V(A) = 0.40*(-100) = -40
- P(B)*V(B) = 0.60*30 = 18
Then add up those products:
-40+18 = -22
This is the expected value, and it represents the average amount of money you earn for each dice roll. So you'll lose on average about $22. Because the expected value is not zero, this means this game is not mathematically fair.
This does not mean that any single die roll you would lose $22; instead it means that if you played the game say 1000 or 10,000 times, then averaging out the wins and losses will get you close to a loss of $22.
You bought 5 books for $60 and 2 movies for $30
On the bottom line, the 106 and number 1 make a straight line and needs to equal 180 degrees.
This means number 1 = 180-106 = 74 degrees.
Because x and y are parallel, the top outside angle is the same as number 1.
6x +8 = 74
Subtract 8 from both sides:
6x = 66
divide both sides by 6:
x = 66 / 6
x = 11
Now you have x, replace x in the equation for 7x-2 to find that angle:
7(11) -2 = 77-2 = 75 degrees.
The three inside angles need to equal 180 degrees.
Angle 2 = 180 - 74 - 75 = 31 degrees.
