Question

construct a data set that has the given statistics.
n = 6
μ = 9
σ = 3

what does the value n mean?
○ a. the difference between all the values in the population data set.
○ b. the mean of the population data.
○ c. the number of values in the population data set.
○ d. the range of the population data.

Explanation:

In statistics, \(N\) is a common notation used to represent the number of data points in a population data set. Option A is incorrect as the difference between all values is not what \(N\) represents. Option B is wrong because the mean of the population data is denoted by \(\mu\). Option D is incorrect since the range is calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the data set, not what \(N\) stands for.

Answer:

C. The number of values in the population data set.
