In a study of elephants a researcher wishes to determine the average weight of a certain subspecies of elephants From previous studies the standard deviation of the weights of elephants in this sub?

To determine the average weight of the elephant subspecies, the researcher should collect a sample of weights from the elephants in the subspecies and calculate the mean weight. They can then use statistical methods to estimate the population average weight of the subspecies with a certain level of confidence. The standard deviation obtained from previous studies can help assess the variability of the weights within the subspecies and provide insights into the spread of the data.
