A lоcаl fаrmer hаd an оrchard оf 1000 orange trees and they were interested in determining the true average amount of oranges that grew on their trees during the last year. However, they didn't have time to count the number of oranges from all 1000 trees, so they randomly selected 10 trees and found that the average number of oranges for those 10 trees was 243. Use this information to answer the following question. In this scenario, the average number of oranges that grew from the 10 randomly selected trees would be considered what?
