a random sample of 121 bottles of cologne showed an average content of 4 ounces. it is known that the standard deviation of the contents (i.e., of the population) is 0.22 ounces. 9. refer to exhibit 7-4. in this problem, the .22 is



Answer :

In this problem, 0.22 is a parameter.

Mean is defined as the average of given numbers i.e. sum of all numbers divided by the total number of numbers. The Mean is denoted as m or μ. Standard deviation is the measure which it shows the variation from the mean exists or not. The standard deviation is denoted as σ.

The range of possible values for a variable is known as a parameter. A parametric equation is an equation expressed in terms of parameters. In the equation y = 2x + 1, x is called the parameter. In statistics, a function variable whose variable is sought by means of evidence from the samples is called a parameter.

As per the given question,

  • Number of bottles   =   121
  • mean ( μ )   =   4
  • Standard deviation ( σ )   =   0.22

⇒ 0.22 is the standard deviation of the random sample which is a measurement. Measurements of populations can be called parameters.

Therefore, the 0.22 value in the problem is called a parameter.
