Select two symbols that represent a statistic.

<h3>Answers: Choice B and Choice C</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

The symbol \mu or mu represents the population mean, which is a parameter.

The symbol \sigma or sigma represents the population standard deviation, which is also a parameter. The same goes for the symbol p, without any hat on top, as it is the population proportion.

If something represents a population data item, then it's automatically a parameter. It might help to think both words "population" and "parameter" start with the letter P.

Based on those previous paragraphs, we can rule out choices A, D and E. Those three items are parameters. This leaves <u>choices B and C</u> as our final answers.

\overline{x} or xbar is a sample statistic, and it represents an estimate of the population mean. Similarly, \hat{p} or p-hat is the sample proportion and it represents an estimate of the population proportion. These are considered unbiased estimators.

Another example of an unbiased estimator is the variable s which represents the sample standard deviation and it estimates the value of sigma. All of these estimators have one thing in common: they are based on a sample, which in turn tries to predict what the corresponding population value is. In other words, the statistic's job is to estimate the parameter.

Below is a reference table for all of the items mentioned.

A gas that has a volume of 28 liters, a temperature of 450c, and an unknown pressure has its volume increased to 34 liters and i
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

2.82 atm

Explanation:

Initial:

V1 = 28 liters, T1 = 450 C = 450 + 273 K = 723 K, P1 = ?

Final:

V2 = 34 liters, T2 = 350 C = 350 + 273 K = 623 K, P2 = 2.0 atm

Use P1 * V1 / T1 = P2 * V2 / T2

so P1 = P2 * (V2/V1) * (T1/T2) = 2.0 * (34/28) * (723/623) = 2.82 atm
