Q5. If there are 4528 marbles in the large container in the front of the room,
a) how many marbles would you predict would be blue based on your sample,
and b) how many marbles would you predict would be blue based on the
average of four groups?
Answer:
Number of blue marbles in large container based on the average of four groups = 16.34%*4528
Number of blue marbles in large container based on the average of four groups = 739.87
Q6. If your sample contained 1000 liters of water from Hakaluki Haor and the
volume of Hakaloki Haor is 125,000,000 cubic meters, and each of the marbles
represents fish of that color, how many red fishes would you expect to find in
the whole Haor based on your sampling? Be sure to include your calculations
in your answer.
Answer:
Given that our sample is 1000 liters Conversion, 1000 liters = 1m3
