A candy company fills a package of candy with individually wrapped pieces of candy. The number of pieces of candy per package varies because the package is sold by weight. The company wants to estimate the number of pieces per package. Inspectors randomly sample 120 packages of this candy and count the number of pieces in each package. They find that the sample mean number of pieces is 18.72. Assume the population standard deviation of .8735. What is the point estimate of number of pieces per package

The point estimate for the number of pieces per package is of 18.72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimate of a population mean:

The mean of the sample gives an estimate for the population mean.

They find that the sample mean number of pieces is 18.72.

This means that the point estimate for the number of pieces per package is of 18.72.

look a the sides they are perpendicular

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
