Answer 1

ANSWER

0.547

EXPLANATION

Given:

n=1076 and x = 589

Desire Outcome:

Best point estimate of the population proportion.

The point estimate is the observed or sample proportion.

Determine the Point Estimate

$\begin{gathered} PE\text{ = }\frac{589}{1076} \\ PE\text{ = 0.54739} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the point estimate of the population proportion is 0.547 (rounded to three decimal places).
