Imagine you’re planning to estimate the price of the averagebook at your college bookstore.
The bookstore carries 13,000 titles, but you plan to sample only200 books.
You will select a sample of 200 books, record the price of eachbook, and use the average of the 200 books to estimate the averageprice of the 13,000 titles in the bookstore.
