estimación puntual

Estimation point, or "estimación puntual," refers to a statistical approach used to provide a single best guess or value for a specific parameter or characteristic of a population, based on sample data. For example, if researchers want to know the average height of adults in a city, they might measure a sample of people and use that data to estimate the city's average height. This single estimate helps simplify complex information, although it doesn't convey the full variability of the population. Understanding this estimate is crucial for making informed decisions based on data.
