A study was conducted in order to estimate μ, the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home. Suppose a random sample of 81 U.S. adults gives a mean weekly computer usage time of 8.5 hours and that from prior studies, the population standard deviation is assumed to be σ = 3.6 hours.

See your last post.

To find the point estimate for μ, the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home, we use the provided information that the random sample of 81 U.S. adults gives a mean weekly computer usage time of 8.5 hours.

Therefore, the point estimate for μ is 8.5.

So, the correct answer is "8.5".
