A sample of 10 television tubes produced by a company showed a mean lifetime of 1200 hours and a standard deviation of 100 hours.
Estimate
a) the mean:: A point estimate of the mean = 1200 hrs
-----------------------------------
(b) the standard deviation:: Since s = u/sqrt(10), u = s*sqrt(10) = 100sqrt(10)
------------------------------------------------------
of the population of all television tubes
produced by this company.
