"A researcher asks participants to estimate the height (in inches) of a statue that was in a waiting area. The researcher records the following estimates: 40, 46, 30, 50, and 34. If the researcher removes the estimate of 40 (say, due to an experimenter error), then the value of the mean will"

Answer:

We conclude that the value of the mean is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the researcher records the following estimates: 40, 46, 30, 50, and 34. If the researcher removes the estimate of 40 (say, due to an experimenter error).  

Now we have the following estimates: 46, 30, 50, and 34.

We calculate  the value of the mean. We get:

[tex]x=\frac{46+30+50+34}{4}\\\\x=\frac{160}{4}\\\\x=40\\[/tex]

We conclude that the value of the mean is 40.
