Chin researched the amount of money 150 students earned per month from jobs held during the summer. he created a table of six sample means from his collected data. sample number sample mean ($) 1 208 2 235 3 245 4 207 5 205 6 210 using his results, what is a valid prediction about the mean of the population?

the choices are below

the predicted mean of the population will be less than 200.

The predicted mean of the population will be less than 245.

The predicted mean of the population will be more than 275.

The predicted mean of the population will be more than 250.

b is the answer

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
