Of the 10161016 adults​ surveyed, 517517 indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without. Obtain a point estimate for the population proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:

0.509

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a random sample of 1016 adults in a certain large country was asked​ "Do you pretty much think televisions are a necessity or a luxury you could do​ without?"

Of the 1016 adults​ surveyed, 517 indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without.

To find out the point estimate of population proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without.

We find that point estimate is nothing but sample proportion

Sample proportion = favourably voters/total people surveyed

= $\frac{517}{1016} \\=0.5088\\=0.509$
