What is over estimate?

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 to the nearest whole number?

What is a common number in math?

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.


When a survey indicated that 65 of the family in a town own cars. find the probability that among 7 families selected at random in the town exactly 5 of them own cars?

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.
