anonymous · Answer

I believe the best answer would be "How many sticks of gum come in a standard pack?"
To determine the answer to this question, one could take a random sample of packs of gum and count the number of sticks of gum in each pack. One could then do various methods of statistical inference on the data that is collected (computing the mean, standard deviation, confidence intervals, etc.).
