A survey of 2690 musicians showed that 368 of them are left-handed. Find a point estimate for p, the population proportion of musicians that are left-handed.

Respuesta :

Answer: 0.137.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion of musicians that are left-handed.

Given: Sample size : n= 2690   [subset of population]

Number of musicians that are left-handed: x= 368

Then the sample proportion: [tex]\hat{p}=\dfrac{368}{2690}\approx0.137[/tex]

Since sample proportion is the best point estimate of the population proportion.

Hence, a point estimate for p, the population proportion of musicians that are left-handed is 0.137.
