An overestimate is when you estimate something, like the number of people in a stadium. Then you find out what the actual number is, and it is less than your estimate. I estimate there are 100,000 people in the stadium. Then it's announced that there are 97,235 in attendance. So I overestimated.
Estimate what to the nearest whole number?
0 because when people estimate a number the usually round it to tens, hundreds etc. etc. and when you round that the last number would be 0.
It is necessary to have an estimate of the proportion of families in the town which own cars. Since the number of families which do own a car is given, it is necessary to know the total number of families in the town. Without the total number of families, it is not possible to estimate the car-owning proportion and therefore impossible to make any estimate about the answer.If, for example, if there were only 65 families this would imply that every family owned a car and, therefore, the probability of exactly 5 out of 7 random families owning a car would be 0. If there were 67 families, the probability would be approx 0.17 while if there were 270 or more families, the probability is zero.
Population is total number of people who live in a geographical area
