Exercises: Estimate a Population Mean or Proportion with a Margin of Error

Work through each section in order. Show your work where indicated. When you report an estimate, give the point estimate, the margin of error (about two standard deviations of the simulated sampling distribution), and the interval estimate, and interpret it in context.

Recall / Warm-Up

A random sample of 80 town workers has a mean commute of $\bar{x} = 27$ minutes.
What is the point estimate of the population mean commute $\mu$ for all town workers?

$27$ minutes

$80$ minutes

It cannot be estimated from a sample.

$\mu$ is exactly $27$ minutes for the whole population.
