Astudy was conducted in order to estimate μ, the mean number of weekly hours that u. s. adults use computers at home. suppose a random sample of 81 u. s. adults gives a mean weekly computer usage time of 8.5 hours and that from prior studies, the population standard deviation is assumed to be σ = 3.6 hours. based on this information, what would be the point estimate for μ?

The point estimate for is 8.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .

In this problem

We are working with a sample of 81 adults, so the point estimae of the mean  is the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home.

So, the point estimate for is 8.5 hours.
