In a wildlife preserve, a random sample of the population of 150 raccoons was caught and weighed. The results, given in pounds, were 17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 27, 28, 28, 28 and 32. Jean made the inference, "the average weight of the raccoon population is 25 pounds". Is this statement reasonable? Explain.
