Question

On Tuesday, the bottles of iced tea filled in a plant were supposed to contain an average of 20 ounces of iced tea. Quality control inspectors sampled 50 bottles at random from the days production. These bottles contained an average of 19.6 ounces of iced tea

Identify the population

Identify the parameter

Identify the sample

Identify the statistic

Answer 1

Answer:

i) The bottles of iced tea filled in a plant is the Population

ii) The Average of Population μ = 20 is called Parameter

iii) The sample size 'n' = 50

iv) The mean of the sample 'x⁻ = 19.6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:-

Population:-

The total number of observations which we are concerned , whether this number be finite or infinite is called Population.

In Given data

The bottles of iced tea filled in a plant is the Population

Parameter:-

The statistical constants of the Population namely mean and variance are usually refereed to as Parameters.

The Average of Population μ = 20 is called Parameter

Sample:-

A sample is a subset of population

given data sample size n=50 bottles at random from the days of production

Statistics

The sample mean x⁻ and variance S² is called statistics

Given data

These bottles contained an average of 19.6 ounces of iced tea

x⁻ = 19.6 ounces
