Making Estimates About a Population Using Multiple Samples

This lesson teaches how to make population estimates using the mean of multiple samples. It covers using proportions to estimate unknown characteristics, calculating the mean, and the importance of multiple samples for accurate inferences. A practical example of ordering T-shirts for students is provided to illustrate these concepts.

Why is it important to consider multiple samples rather than relying on a single sample for making predictions?

What steps should be taken to estimate how many blue T-shirts should be ordered for a population of students?

Describe the process of finding the mean number of blue responses from multiple samples.
