One sample has a mean of and a second sample has a mean of . The two samples are combined into a single set of scores. What is the mean for the combined set if both of the original samples have scores

a) For this case we can use the definition of weighted average given by:

And if we replace the values given we have:

b)

c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following question: "One sample has a mean of M=8 and a second sample has a mean of M=16 . The two samples are combined into a single set of scores.

a) What is the mean for the combined set if both of the original samples have n=4 scores "

For this case we can use the definition of weighted average given by:

And if we replace the values given we have:

b) what is the mean for the combined set if the first sample has n=3 and the second sample has n=5

Using the definition we have:

c) what is the mean for the combined set if the first sample has n=5 and the second sample has n=3

Using the definition we have:

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
