Question

A coconut grower has a harvest of 1000 coconuts to sell. A buyer of the whole harvest wants to estimate the total weight of the coconut milk inside the harvest of coconuts, and also the mean weight of milk per coconut. The purchaser picks a sample of 5 coconuts, weighs each whole coconut, and then opens each coconut and weighs the coconut milk inside the coconut. The data is as follows: weight in ounces whole nut 60 64 58 62 60 Milk 6.2 6.8 5.9 6.1 5.9

A. Given this data one can compute an unbiased estimate of the mean milk per coconut in the shipment

B. Given this data one can compute the unbiased estimate of the total milk content in the shipment.

C. Given this data one can compute the ratio estimate of the total milk in the shipment.

D. Given this data one can compute the ratio estimate of the mean milk per coconut in the shipment.

2. A coconut grower has a harvest of 1000 coconuts to sell. The total weight of the 1000 coconuts is 4200 pounds. A buyer of the whole harvest wants to estimate the total weight of the coconut milk inside the harvest of coconuts, and also the mean weight of milk per coconut. The purchaser picks a sample of 5 coconuts, weighs each whole coconut, and then opens each coconut and weighs the coconut milk inside the coconut. The data is as follows: weight in ounces whole nut 60 64 58 62 60 Milk 6.2 6.8 5.9 6.1 5.9

A. Based on the above data one can compute the ratio estimate of the mean weight of milk per coconut for the shipment.

B. Based on the above data one can compute the ratio estimate of the total weight of coconut milk in the shipment,

C. Based on the above data one can compute the unbiased estimate of the total weight of coconut milk in the shipment.

D. Based on the above data one can compute the unbiased estimate of the mean weight per coconut for the shipment.
