A doctor wishes to estimate the mean triglyceride level of patients two hours after eating a steak dinner. To estimate the mean, you collect data from 22 patients. State the individual, variable, population, sample, parameter, and statistic. Individual: The triglyceride level of patients two hours after eating a steak dinner. Population: Total number of patients. Sample: The 22 patients. Parameter: Population mean. Statistic: Sample mean. 2.) Explain why the relative frequency column of a frequency table might not sum to 1.0. People like numbers that are easier to read. For example, say we did a calculation that gave us the answer 0.. Most of the time, you would round that up to 0.24 because it is easier to convey to someone reading the report than having a table of numbers each with 6 or more decimal places. When that happens, the sum might not end up being 1.0 and instead be 1.2 or something because of rounding.
