A point estimate of the mean is a number that is used to approximate the true value of said population parameter.
 To find the point estimate of the mean we will use the associated sample parameter X-bar.

 Since Xbar is an unbiased estimator of μ, then:

 μ_X-bar = μ.

 X-bar = 16.6
 So:

 The estimate of population mean = X-bar = 16.6
