Whitney was curious if sample mean was an unbiased estimator of population mean. She placed ping pong balls numbered from 0 to 32 in a drum and mixed them well. Note that the mean of the population is 16.
She then took a random sample of 5 balls and calculated the mean of the sample. She replaced the balls and
repeated this process for a total of 50 trials. Her results are summarized in the dotplot below, where each dot
represents the sample mean from a sample of 5 balls.

Based on these results, does sample mean appear to be a biased or unbiased estimator of population mean?

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

step-by-step explanation:

a. (14,375+570)(5.3) b. 158,417$

step-by-step explanation:

a. you are basically just setting up the equation. f= amount of debt hence 14,375. g= how much she is borrowing from her parents weekly hence 570 and t= the interest on her debt. creating the equation.

b.   14,375+570= 14,945

      14,945 x 5.3 = 79,208.5

      79,208.5 x 2(years) = 158,417(answer)
