Question

For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding. In a random sample of 502 judges, it was found that 283 were introverts. (a) Let p represent the proportion of all judges who are introverts. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The point estimate for p is 0.5637.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimate for the proportion of all judges who are introverts.

We have a big sample.

So the proportion of the sample proportion of introverted judges can be used as the estimation of the population proportion.

In the sample:

502 judges

283 introverts.

So

p = 283/502 = 0.5637

The point estimate for p is 0.5637.
