Helena asked five drama club members in her homeroom how many tickets they had sold. The mean number of tickets sold was 16. Then she took ten random samples from the entire drama club of 75 students. The mean number of tickets sold was 22. 5. Compare the means. Is one sample a better representation? Explain why or why not.

The total sum of the population in the first sample is greater than the second, hence the first sample is a better representation.

The formula for calculating the mean of numbers is expressed according to to the formula;

[tex]\overline x=\frac{\sum x}{n} \\[/tex]

n is the total sample space

[tex]\overline x[/tex] is the mean of the samples

[tex]\sum x[/tex] is the sum of the variables

If the mean number of tickets sold by five drama club members was 16, then;

[tex]16=\frac{\sum x}5}\\\sum x = 16 \times 5\\\sum x_1 = 80[/tex]

If she took ten random samples from the entire drama club of 75 students with a mean number of 22.5, hence;

[tex]\sum x_2 = 75[/tex]

Since the total sum of the population in the first sample is greater than the second, hence the first sample is a better representation.
