Group 2
 {4, 1, 3, 2, 1}
Group 3
{5, 4, 6, 4, 6}
Identify any surveys that are likely biased. Based on the unbiased surveys, estimate the mean number of cups of coffee the customers drink in one day.
Enter your answer in the box. Round to the nearest whole number

and two

Answer:

1-) 2 cups

2-) 1555 people

Explanation:

1-) A quick glance at all three groups shows that group 3 is a clear outlier and thus it is likely biased. Considering just groups 1 and 2, the estimate mean number of of cups of coffee the customers drink in one day is:


Mean = (1+3+2+2+4+4+1+3+2+1)/(10) \\Mean = 2.3

Rounding it to the nearest whole number, the average is 2 cups.

2-) The percentage of people who prefer polar bears is roughly the ratio of interviewed people who prefer polar bear to the total number of people interviewed:


P=(46+43+49)/(300) \\P=0.46

In a weekend with 3380 visitors, a reasonable estimate of people who prefer polar bears is:


N= 0.46*3380\\N= 1554,8

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the estimate is 1555 people.
