Answer:  0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  A Houston department store sampled 80 items sold in January and found that 8 of the items were returned.

In other words, sample size : <em>n</em>=1040

Number of items returned : <em>x</em>= 8

Let <em>p</em> be the proportion of items returned for the population of sales transactions at the Houston store.

As per sample , the sample proportion of items returned for the population of sales transactions at the Houston store is :

\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{8}{80}=0.1

As we know that , <em>the sample proportion is the best estimate of the population proportion.</em>

Therefore,a point estimate of the proportion of items returned for the population of sales transactions at the Houston store is 0.1.
