We want to know the mean income of the population but the statistics provided to us are divided into four groups, North, South, East, and West. We do not know the sample size for the four groups, only the estimated group populations, incomes, and standard errors.
If possible, how do we estimate the mean and standard error for the total population?
.Group .Count .Income .Standard Error
North 10,000 100 10
South 20,000 80 10
East 20,000 150 12
West 10,000 120 15
TOTAL 60,000 ?? ??
Thanks.
