Question

Looking at the means of these samples, which value is most likely to be the mean of the population from which the samples were taken? Sample Number Sample Mean 1 11.8 2 12.5 3 15.1 4 14.3 5 13.0 6 12.9 10.2 11.5 12.9 15.4

Answer 1

C. 12.9 is the answer.

Explanation:

Answer 2

We are given the below data:

Sample Number Sample Mean

1 11.8

2 12.5

3 15.1

4 14.3

5 13.0

6 12.9

7 10.2

8 11.5

9 12.9

10 15.4

Now the most likely mean of the population can be found by finding the mean of given sample means. It is given below:

`Mean = (11.8+12.5+15.1+14.3+13.0+12.9+10.2+11.5+12.9+15.4)/(10)`

`=12.96`

Therefore, the most likely mean of the population from which the samples were taken is 12.96
