A random sample of 100 individuals provides 25 positive responses.

Then the point estimate of the population proportion with "positive" responses is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

A random sample of 100 individuals provides 25 positive responses.

The point estimate of the population proportion is calculated by dividing the number of positive responses by the total sample size.


Total sample size =100= 100

Number of positive responses =25= 25


Point Estimate =Number of Positive ResponsesTotal Sample Size= \dfrac{\text{Number of Positive Responses}}{\text{Total Sample Size}}

Point Estimate =25100= \dfrac{25}{100}

Point Estimate =0.25= 0.25


Therefore, the point estimate of the population proportion with positive responses is 0.250.25.
