A data set includes

103 body temperatures of healthy adult humans for which x overbar equals 98.1degreesF and s equals 0.56 degrees Upper F.

What is the best point estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans?

Solution

A data set includes 103 body temperatures of healthy adult humans for which x overbar equals 98.1degreesF and s equals 0.56 degrees Upper F.

What is the best point estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans?

Best point estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans = 98.1 F

(The sample mean from a group of observations is an unbiased estimate of the population mean)
