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.

 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.

We know that the sample mean is the best estimate to the population mean.

Sample mean=

Here , n= 10

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

answer: 3 x 2 = 6 and 6+0

step-by-step explanation: sum equals addition and twice is multiplication so its

3 x 2 = 6

6+0= 6

identity property of zero

b) yes

step-by-step explanation:

let the statements be named as,

statement 1: if the power has been cut, then the refrigerator does not work.

statement 2: the refrigerator does not work.

conclusion: the power has been cut

now, 'law of detachment states that if we have the statements given as,

1. if p, then q.

2. p

then, we get the true statement or conclusion as q'.

thus, on comparing, we get that,

p: if the power has been cut.

q: the refrigerator does not work.

so, the argument is true by the law of detachment.
