Solution
The point estimate of proportion is calculated as the number with the characteristic divided by the total sample size.
Given information:
Total sample size = 300 individuals
"Yes" responses = 180 persons
"No" responses = 100 persons
"No response" = 20 persons
The point estimate uses the total sample size of 300 (not 280) in the denominator. The 20 individuals who gave no response are still part of the sample and represent a segment of the population.
