(a)
To find: the number of canned goods collected during the 5-day food drive
(a)
Answer to Problem 18STP
The number of collected canned goods in 5 days will be
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Consider the table below:
Class | Number Collected |
10th | 78 |
11th | 80 |
12th | 92 |
The Strategy is to estimate how many canned goods will be collected during the 5-day food
Drive.
Here, total number of collected canned goods in one day is:
Hence, the number of collected canned goods in 5 days will be:
Conclusion:
Therefore,the number of collected canned goods in 5 days will be
(b)
To find: The estimation is reasonable expectation or not.
(b)
Answer to Problem 18STP
The estimation is not reasonable expectation.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The estimation is not a reasonable expectation.
This is because; the rate is not given in the case. Therefore, the number of canned goods
Collected may not be the 5 times of the total numbers collected in day 1.
Conclusion:
Therefore,the estimation is not reasonable expectation
