The following data is from a simple random sample : 15, 23, x, 37, 19, 32 If the point estimate of the population mean is 23, then the value of x is: |
12 30 21 24 |
12 |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 12 $\text{Sample size }=6.$ $\text{Point estimate of population mean }=\bar{x}=23.$ $\text{Sum of observations }=6\cdot23=138.$ $15+23+x+37+19+32=138.$ $126+x=138.$ $x=12.$ |
