Answer:
The number of free throws, two-point throw, and three-point throw are 135, 173, and 111 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x,y, and z are the numbers of two-point field goals, numbers of three-point field goals, and the number of free-throws (one-point goal) respectively.
The total points= 814
As the number of two-point goals was 49 less than double the number of three-point field goals she made.
Again, the number of free goals was 38 less than the number of two-point field goals she made.
From equations (i) and (iii)
2x+3y+x-38=814
[using equation (ii)]
From equation (ii),
From equation (iii),
.
Hence,
The number of free throws, z= 135
The number of two-point throw, x=173
The number of three-point throw, y=111.
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>
No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.
====================================================
Explanation:
The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.
The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8
We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2
Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.
Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.
