Disagree. Even though it has no b it is still a line but a horizontal line. It will be at 7 on the y- intercept but horizontal.
The best estimate of the population means is always the sample mean. We have the sample values, using them we can find the sample mean.
The sum of the sampled rates = 248
Sample Size = 10
Mean value of the sample = Sum of Sample Rate/Sample Size
So,
Mean of the sample = 248/10 = 24.8
Therefore, we can say that the best estimate for the population mean is 24.8
A mixed number is one that has an integer along with a proper fraction, so that would be (for this improper fraction):
50/12 = 4 1/6
12 goes into 50, 4 times with a remainder of 2
you get: 4 and 2/12, but 2/12 can be reduced further to 1/6
so that's how i got the answer of 4 1/6
