The Ice Chalet offers dozens of different beginning iceskating classes. All of the class names are put into a bucket. The 5 P.M., Monday night, ages 8 to 12, beginning ice-skating class was picked. In that class were 64 girls and 16 boys. Suppose that we are interested in the true proportion of girls, ages 8 to 12, in all beginning ice-skating classes at the Ice Chalet. Assume that the children in the selected class are a random sample of the population.
What is being counted?
The mean age for all Foothill College students for a recent Fall term was . The population standard deviation has been pretty consistent at . Suppose that twenty-five Winter students were randomly selected. The mean age for the sample was . We are interested in the true mean age for Winter Foothill College students. Let the age of a Winter Foothill College student.
In words, define the random variable .
