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
Answer:
1. You cannot divide by zero.
2. The inequality is equivalent to -20.2 > 0, which is false.
