Cara wants to find the mean CO emission of the diesel cars in one region of the Large Data Set. When she opens the data she finds that the CO emission is missing for some of the diesel cars.
State what Cara should do with the records for which the CO emission is missing, and state the value of n n\,n she should then divide by.
Explain why Cara's mean may still not be a reliable estimate of the mean CO emission of all diesel cars in that region.
