Question

"A researcher asks participants to estimate the height (in inches) of a statue that was in a waiting area. The researcher records the following estimates: 40, 46, 30, 50, and 34. If the researcher removes the estimate of 40 (say, due to an experimenter error), then the value of the mean will"

Answer 1

We conclude that the value of the mean is 40.

Explanation:

We know that the researcher records the following estimates: 40, 46, 30, 50, and 34. If the researcher removes the estimate of 40 (say, due to an experimenter error).

Now we have the following estimates: 46, 30, 50, and 34.

We calculate the value of the mean. We get:

`x=(46+30+50+34)/(4)\\\\x=(160)/(4)\\\\x=40\\`

We conclude that the value of the mean is 40.
