<PRE><B>Question 1129830</B>
&lt;font color=&quot;black&quot; face=&quot;times&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Answer: &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color=red size=4&gt;24.8&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;


---------------------------------------------


Explanation:


To get this answer, you add up the values given to you. Afterward, you divide by 10 because there are 10 values given. 
This will lead to the sample mean. 
The sample mean is the best estimate of the population mean assuming your sample is representative of the population (ie there is no bias).


Add up the values:
32+24+14+34+26+27+31+16+18+26 = 248


Now divide that result by 10:
248/10 = &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color=red size=4&gt;24.8&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;</PRE>
