One thousand baseball fans were asked how far they would be willing to travel to watch a professional baseball game. From this population, 100 different samples of size 40 were
selected. Here is a dot plot showing the mean of each sample.
40 42 44 46 48 50 52 54 56 58 60 62 64 66 68 70 72 74 76 78 80 82 84
sample mean distance (miles)
Based on the distribution of sample means, what do you think is a reasonable estimate for
the mean of the population?
