A farmer determines that, on average, his chickens lay a total of 16 eggs each day. A random sample of 10 days was taken, and the mean number of eggs was determined. Let μ = the true mean number of eggs the chickens lay each day. Which of the following values for the sample mean is the least likely to occur? 15
16
17
18

answer: c

substitute in the values.

for a:

f(0) = 0 + 9

f(0) = 9

a is a solution.

for b:

f(7) = 14 + 9

f(7) = 23

b is a solution.

for c:

f (3) = 6 + 9

f(3) = 15

c is not a solution. it's supposed to be 14.

for d:

f(2) = 4 + 9

f(2)= 13

d is a solution.

yes, i think so although i am not sure. this is a very strange question.

this cant be answered without the graph. you may need to add it.
