There are ten sample means in total, but one of the means has been deleted. If the sample means are 9.7, 7.8, 8.5, 9.3, 9.2, 9.1, 8.7, 8.6, 7.7, and the estimated population mean is 8.7, what is the missing sample mean?(1 point) Responses 8.0 8.0 8.4 8.4 7.8 7.8 8.6

Answer 1

To find the missing sample mean, first calculate the total sum of all sample means provided:

9.7 + 7.8 + 8.5 + 9.3 + 9.2 + 9.1 + 8.7 + 8.6 + 7.7 = 78.6

Since there are 10 sample means in total and the estimated population mean is 8.7, we can calculate the sum of the 10 sample means:

10 * 8.7 = 87

To find the missing sample mean, subtract the total sum of the given sample means from the sum of the 10 sample means:

87 - 78.6 = 8.4

Therefore, the missing sample mean is 8.4.

Answer 2

This is wrong.

Answer 3

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's calculate it correctly:

We know that the estimated population mean is 8.7.

Add up the given sample means:

9.7 + 7.8 + 8.5 + 9.3 + 9.2 + 9.1 + 8.7 + 8.6 + 7.7 = 78.6

Given that there are 10 sample means, we can calculate the sum of the 10 sample means:

10 * 8.7 = 87

To find the missing sample mean, subtract the sum of the given sample means from the sum of the 10 sample means:

87 - 78.6 = 8.4

Therefore, the missing sample mean is 8.4.

Answer 4

I think the answer is 8.6.

Answer 5

Let's verify this calculation:

Given sample means: 9.7, 7.8, 8.5, 9.3, 9.2, 9.1, 8.7, 8.6, 7.7

Given estimated population mean: 8.7
Sum of all given sample means: 9.7 + 7.8 + 8.5 + 9.3 + 9.2 + 9.1 + 8.7 + 8.6 + 7.7 = 79.6
Total number of sample means (including the missing one): 10
Estimated sum of all 10 sample means: 8.7 * 10 = 87

Missing sample mean = Estimated sum of all sample means - Sum of given sample means
Missing sample mean = 87 - 79.6 = 7.4

Therefore, the correct missing sample mean is 7.4, not 8.6 as initially stated. Thank you for pointing out the error.
