The Quality Control Department employs five technicians during the day shift. Listed below is the number of times each technician instructed the production foreman to shut down the manufacturing process last week.

a. How many samples, without replacement, of size two are possible?
b. Compute the mean of the sample means and compare it to the population mean.

a. The possible samples is 10

b. The mean of the sample mean is 3 and the population mean is 3.

Both the sample mean and the population mean is the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image attached show the step by step solution.

a

The number is  

b

The sample mean is = 3.2

The population mean is = 3

The sample mean is greater than population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we can see that the number of technicians is

Generally we can obtain the number of sample without replacement of size two that is possible using this formula

This denote Combination  which is mathematically represented as

                where ! denotes factorial

So substituting  5 for n and 2 for r

No of samples without replacement of size 2

The sample mean of the 10 samples are shown on the first uploaded image

The population means is mathematically evaluated as

From the calculation on the on the table for sample mean and the population mean calculation we see that

               the sample mean is greater than population mean  

what do u need to know

step-by-step explanation:

“ a line segment that has the endpoints on the circle and passes through the midpoint is called the diameter. the diameter is twice the size of the radius. a line segment that has its endpoints on the circular border but does not pass through the midpoint is called a chord. a circle is the same as 360 small circle up the number 0 . i hope this .
