Breeders of the Longhorn breed of cattle select to increase the length of the horns (i.e., the distance from the tip of one horn to the tip of the other horn). A Longhorn breeder would like to know the average length of horns found on Longhorn cattle in Texas. A random sample of 144 Longhorn cattle yields a mean horn length of 72 inches and a standard deviation of 15 inches. Estimate the population mean for length of horns of Longhorn cattle in Texas using a point estimate.
