Review: Activity Group 1

1. The document describes a classroom activity to estimate the population mean wake up time based on samples from three groups. Each group recorded wake up times and calculated the sample mean. 2. The overall population mean was estimated by calculating the mean of the three sample means. This point estimate provides a single value to represent the population mean. 3. An interval estimate provides a range of values that may contain the true population parameter, whereas a point estimate is a single value.
