Paul wants to estimate the mean number of siblings for each student in his school. He records the number of siblings for each of 100 randomly selected students in the school. What is the parameter?

A parameter is defined as a numerical or another measurable factor that conforms a set that defines a given system.

In this case, the only parameter that we have is the number of siblings that each one of the 100 students has.

For example, in a table:

#student        #siblings.

     1                       3

     2                       1

     3                        4

      ...                       ...

In the left side, we have the "number of the student" that does not really matter, because the students are randomly selected, and at the right, we can see our only parameter in this study, that is the number of siblings that each student has.

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
