Exercises 1–5
1. Suppose a random sample of size ten produced the following ratings in the computer games rating example in the
last lesson: 12, 5, 2, 4, 1, 4, 18, 10, 1, 16. Estimate the population mean rating based on these ten sampled ratings.

Respuesta :

Answer:  The estimated value for population mean rating based on these ten sampled ratings is 7.3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A random sample of size ten produced the following ratings in the computer games rating example in the  last lesson:

12, 5, 2, 4, 1, 4, 18, 10, 1, 16.

Let x denotes any value in the above data.

[tex]{\sum_{i=1}^{10}x_i}{10}=73[/tex]

We know that the sample mean[tex](\overline{x})[/tex] is the best estimate to the population mean[tex](\mu)[/tex].

Sample mean=[tex]\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_i}{n}[/tex]

Here , n= 10

[tex]\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{10}x_i}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x}=\dfrac{73}{10}=7.3[/tex]

Therefore , the estimated value for population mean rating based on these ten sampled ratings= 7.3
