Suppose a historian wants to estimate the true mean number of children per household in New York City in 1900. The historian randomly selects 200 household census records from New York City. She records the number of children residing in each household. The historian then computes the mean number of children per household among these 200 households. Classify each description as one of a parameter, variable, population, sample, data, or statistic. Each classification has one description. (a) the mean number of children per household in New York City in 1900(b) the 200 households selected by the historian the mean number of children per household in the historian's sample(c) all of the households in New York City in 1900(d) the 200 records collected by the historian(e) a quantity equivalent to the number of children in a randomly selected household

Afriend of mine is giving a dinner party. his current wine supply includes 10 bottles of zinfandel, 8 of merlot, and 11 of cabernet (he only drinks red wine), all from different wineries. (a) if he wants to serve 3 bottles of zinfandel and serving order is important, how many ways are there to do this? ways (b) if 6 bottles of wine are to be randomly selected from the 29 for serving, how many ways are there to do this? ways (c) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, how many ways are there to obtain two bottles of each variety? ways (d) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that this results in two bottles of each variety being chosen? (round your answer to three decimal places.) (e) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that all of them are the same variety? (round your answer to three decimal places.)
