The marks obtained by five students in a test of Applied Mathematics carrying 100 marks are 49, 58, 67, 92, 99. Then the point estimate of the population mean is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean (average) of the given marks.

Given marks: 49, 58, 67, 92, 99

Mean=Sum of all marksTotal number of students\text{Mean} = \dfrac{\text{Sum of all marks}}{\text{Total number of students}}


Sum of all marks:

49+58+67+92+9949 + 58 + 67 + 92 + 99

=107+67+92+99= 107 + 67 + 92 + 99

=174+92+99= 174 + 92 + 99

=266+99= 266 + 99

=365= 365


Number of students =5= 5

Mean=3655\text{Mean} = \dfrac{365}{5}

=73= 73


Therefore, the point estimate of the population mean is 7373.
