The Solution:
Given:
Part (a):
Find the sample means by the 4 students.
Student 1:
[tex]sample\text{ mean}=\frac{60+20+30+40+20}{5}=\frac{170}{5}=34[/tex]
Student 2:
[tex]Sample\text{ mean}=\frac{30+70+30+20+20}{5}=\frac{170}{5}=34[/tex]
Student 3:
[tex]sample\text{ mean}=\frac{20+40+40+60+20}{5}=\frac{180}{5}=36[/tex]
Student 4:
[tex]Sample\text{ mean}=\frac{40+50+50+20+30}{5}=\frac{190}{5}=38[/tex]
Part (b):
Find the range of the sample means.
[tex]Range=largest\text{ mean}-smallest\text{ mean}[/tex][tex]Range=38-34=4[/tex]
Part (c):
Thus, the correct answers are [options B and D]
