Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sample can be used to generate both a point estimate and an interval estimate for the population mean. The point estimate is a single value that represents the best guess for the population mean based on the sample data. The interval estimate provides a range of values within which the true population mean is likely to fall with a certain level of confidence. Therefore, both options are the best choices.
