Answer:

a) Point estimates are used to make inferences about population parameters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimation is defined as an approximate and single numeric value representing a population. This is given as an estimate of a parameter of certain population. So, population parameter helps in determining a population by randomly selecting a part of people from that population through some survey.
