The standard deviation of the population is 4.4 pounds. Round intermediate answers to at least three decimal places. Round your final answers to one decimal place. Part 1 out of 4 The best point estimate of the mean is [- pounds. 2

Explanation / Answer

Here

we know that

The best point estimate is always representative of the population.

that is the sample mean is the best point estimate of the population.

Here we have given that

n = sample size-60

ar x= sample mean = 28

s=sample standard devaition= 4.4

that is here

The sample mean is the best point estimate of the population mean

i.e

The best point estimate of the mean is 28.0 pounds.
