Given:
Sample size, n= 2580
Surveys returned = 975
Confidence interval = 90%
Let's solve for the following:
• (a). Find the best point estimate of the population proportion p.
To find the population proportion, apply the formula:
[tex]p^{\prime}=\frac{x}{n}[/tex]Where:
x = 975
n = 2580
Hence, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} p^{\prime}=\frac{975}{2580} \\ \\ p^{\prime}=0.378 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the best point estimate of the population proportion is 0.378
ANSWER:
(a). 0.378
