We learned that the sample mean is not likley to be representative of the population mean when a sample is too small. Explain why?For this quiz, you are going to use orange juice data. This data set is originally used in a machine learning (ML) class, with the goal to predict which of the two brands of orange juices the customers bought. Of course, you are not building a ML algorithm in this quiz. I just wanted to provide you with the context of the data.
The response variable (that ML algorithm is built to predict) is Purchase
, which takes either CH (Citrus Hill) or MM (Minute Maid). The predictor variables (that ML algorithm uses to make predictions) are characteristics of the customer and the product itself. Together, the data set has 18 variables.WeekofPurchase
is the week of purchase. LoyalCH
is customer brand loyalty for CH (how loyal the customer is for CH on a scale of 0-1), and is the only variable that characterizes customers. All other variables are characteristics of the product or stores the sale occurred at.

Plot Minute Maid orange joice prices in a histogram.Hint: Refer to the code in Data Visualization with R: Ch3.2.1 Histogram. Refer to the code in Data Visualization with R: Ch3.2.1 Histogram. ggplot(Orange, aes(x = SalePriceMM)) + geom_histogram(fill = “cornflowerblue”, color = “white”) + labs(title=“Price of Minute Maide Orange Juice”, x = “Sale Price”)
Hint: Copy the code from Q4 and add two lines of the geom_vline() function in the code for vertical lines of the mean and the median home prices. Google geom_vline() for its documentation. Copy the code from Q4 and add two lines of the geom_vline() function in the code for vertical lines of the mean and the median home prices. Google geom_vline() for its documentation. ggplot(Orange, aes(x = SalePriceMM)) + geom_histogram(fill = “black”, color = “white”) + labs(title=“Price of Minute Maide Orange Juice”, x = “Sale Price”) + geom_vline(xintercept = mean_pr, color = ‘red’) + geom_vline(xintercept = median_pr, color = ‘yellow’)
The more effective measure would be the median because of the distribution. It wouldn’t be mean because outliers can have greater effect on that.
Law of Large Numbers
We learned that the sample mean is not likley to be representative of the population mean when a sample is too small. Explain why?when you add more to a sample size the mean will change because there are more number that have to be considered. A small sample size will actually misinterperate the actual mean.
Hint: Use message

in the chunk options. Refer to the RMarkdown Reference Guide.
