Question

If a sample mean is 37, which of the following is most likely the range ofpossible values that best describes an estimate for the population mean?A. (34,42)B. (28, 36)C. (32, 42)D. (30,38)

Answer 1

We take an average of the values of the range to predict an estimate for the population mean.

The average of 32 and 42 gives

$\frac{32+42}{2}\text{ = }\frac{74}{2}=37$

Therefore, the answer is c
