Question

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

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.
this means there should be 6 values in the data set.
what does the value μ mean?
a. the range of the population data set.
b. the mean of the population data set.
c. the most common value in the population data set.
d. the difference between all the values in the population data set.
this means the population mean of the 6 values in the data set should be 9.
what does the value σ mean?
a. the number of values that equal the population mean.
b. the range of the population data set.
c. the most common value in the population data.
d. the spread of the data from the population mean.

Explanation:

• For the first question, \(N\) represents the number of values in a population data set.
• For the second question, \(\mu\) is the symbol for the population mean.
• For the third question, \(\sigma\) (population standard deviation) measures the spread of data from the population mean.

Answer:

• First question: C. The number of values in the population data set.
• Second question: B. The mean of the population data set.
• Third question: D. The spread of the data from the population mean.
