Math Problem Statement
- Suppose a manufacturer (Mary) wants to guess how many units a competitor (John) completes per week. Since she cannot access John’s factory and records but can buy the competitor’s goods on the open market she decides to buy 14 random units. She then sends you the following serial numbers of the units: 54
33
72
48
21
42
24
75
57
29
59
37
48
55
a. Can you find a way of guesstimating the number of units the competitor produces per week?[30 marks] CLUE: This a probability question
