Number of miles
1.5 2.3 3.5 2 1.8
1.8 1.9 0.5 2.5 2.4
4.8 3.7 0.6 2 2.4
2.5 1.5 0.5 1.8 0.8



Of these visitors, the first 10 people to check out books lived the following miles from the library.
Number of miles
0.5 1.8 0.8 1.8 3.5
4.8 0.6 2 1.5 0.5

Answer 2

The sample mean for the data is 1.8 if the first 10 people to check out books lived out of 20 population.

What are population and sample?

It is defined as the group of data having the same entity which is related to some problems. The sample is a subset of the population, it is a part of the population.

We have:

Total number of population = 20

To calculate the sample mean:

Total number of samples N = 10

Sum of the sample values ∑x = 0.5+1.8+0.8+1.8+3.5+4.8+ 0.6+ 2+1.5+0.5

∑x = 17.8

Now the mean of the sample data =  ∑x/N = 17.8/10 = 1.78 ≈ 1.8

Thus, the sample mean for the data is 1.8 if the first 10 people to check out books lived out of 20 population.
