Question

overweight men for a random sample of 60 overweight men, the mean of the number of pounds that they were overweight was 32. the standard deviation of the population is 4.2 pounds. part: 0 / 4 part 1 of 4 (a) the best point estimate of the mean is pounds.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall point estimate of mean

The best point estimate for the population mean \(\mu\) is the sample mean \(\bar{x}\).

Step2: Identify sample mean

In the problem, the sample mean (mean of the number of pounds the 60 overweight men were overweight) is given as 32. So the best point estimate of the mean is 32.

Answer:

32
