Question

question 5 of 10
the average heights of four samples taken from a population of students are
shown in the table. which of these is most likely closest to the average height
of the population?
sample size average height
(inches)
10 66
20 57
30 60
40 62
a. 60
b. 57
c. 62
d. 66

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the concept of sample size and population estimate

Larger sample sizes tend to give estimates closer to the population parameter.

Step2: Analyze the sample sizes and their average heights

Among the sample sizes \(10\), \(20\), \(30\), and \(40\), the sample size of \(40\) is the largest. The average height for the sample size of \(40\) is \(62\) inches.

Answer:

C. 62
