Question

A random sample of 4000 U.S. citizens yielded 2150 who are in favor of outlawing cheesing. Find the point estimate for estimating the proportion of all Americans who are in favor of outlawing cheesing.

Answer 1

0.5375

Explanation:

The point estimate of proportion of all Americans who are in favor of outlawing cheese can be computed as

p=x/n

Here. x is the number of favorable outcomes and n is sample size.

We are given that x=2150 and n=4000, So,

p=2150/4000

p=0.5375.

Thus, the point estimate of proportion of all Americans who are in favor of outlawing cheese is 0.5375.
