question

7.1-3. To determine the effect of 100%100 \% nitrate on the growth of pea plants, several specimens were planted and then watered with 100%100 \% nitrate every day. At the end of two weeks, the plants were measured. Here are data on seven of them: $$ \begin{array}{lllllll} 17.5 & 14.5 & 15.2 & 14.0 & 17.3 & 18.0 & 13.8 \end{array} $$ Assume that these data are a random sample from a normal distribution N(μ,σ2)N\left(\mu, \sigma^2\right). (a) Find the value of a point estimate of μ\mu.

7.1-3. To determine the effect of $100 \%$ nitrate on the growth of pea plants, several specimens were planted and then watered with $100 \%$ nitrate every day. At the end of
two weeks, the plants were measured. Here are data on seven of them:
$$
\begin{array}{lllllll}

Assume that these data are a random sample from a normal distribution $N\left(\mu, \sigma^2\right)$.
(a) Find the value of a point estimate of $\mu$.
