Question

Ms. Maria Wilson is considering running for mayor of Bear Gulch, Montana. Before completing the petitions, she decides to conduct a survey of voters in Bear Gulch. A sample of 400 voters reveals that 300 would support her in the November election. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) Estimate the value of the population proportion.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion .

We are given that a sample of 400 voters reveals that 300 would support her in the November election.

Then the sample proportion for this situation will be :-

$\hat{p}=\dfrac{300}{400}=0.750$

Since the sample proportion is the best point estimate for the population proportion.

Therefore, the estimated value of the population proportion =0.750
