The amount of time each household in a sample watches television each week is calculated. The mean of the data is 31 hours and the median is 27.2hours. Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 16 hours or less for the week. The 8th percentile of the data is 16 hours.
Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false.

Step 1
Given:
- Mean of the data is, hours
- Median, hours
- The percentage of families who watched television for no more than 16 hours per week is, .
- The 8-th percentile of the data is 16 hours.
Finding out whether the given statement—that the first quartile is less than 16 hours—is true or false—is the goal.
Step 2
The median is 27.2 hours, so that is a given.
So, the 50th percentile is 27.2 hours.
Also given that the 8th percentile is 16 hours.
So,
Then, the first quartile will lies between
So, the condition can be represented as,
.
Thus, cannot be less than 16 hours.
Hence, the given statement is false.

A statistic is an unbiased estimator of a parameter when (a) the statistic is calculated from a random sample. (b) in a single sample, the value of the statistic is equal to the value of the parameter. (c) in many samples, the values of the statistic are very close to the value of the parameter. (d) in many samples, the values of the statistic are centered at the value of the parameter. (e) in many samples, the distribution of the statistic has a shape that is approximately Normal
