Question: Simple random sample of 44 female snakes yielded the following data on number of young per litter:

5 12 7 7 6 8 12 9 7

4 9 6 12 7 5 6 10 3

10 8 8 12 5 6 10 11 3

8 4 5 7 6 11 7 6 8

8 14 8 7 11 7 5 4

A. Use the data to obtain a point estimate for the mean number of young per litter, \(\mu \), of all female snakes.

B. Is your point estimate in part a likely to equal \(\mu \) exactly? Explain.
