Answer:

0.245

Step-by-step explanation:

The population proportion refers to the proportion of the total population. In the scenario above, the population proportion is the proportion of all adult population in the United States who are obese. Therefore the population proportion for the scenario is (24.5 / 100) = 0.245; which is the proportion of all adults in the United States who are obese.
