Question

Let p be the population proportion for the following condition. Find the point estimates for p and q. In a survey of 1673 adults from country A, 816 said that they were not confident that the food they eat in country A is safe. The point estimate for p. Ô, is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) The point estimate for q, ĝ, is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Answer 1

Solution;

Total number of adults= 1673 from a country A

816 is not confident that the eat is safe

Now,

$\hat{p}=\frac{816}{1673}=0.488$

$\hat{p}=0.488$

And

We know that, $\hat{q}=1-\hat{p}$

Now,  $\hat{q}=1-0.488$

$\therefore \hat{q}=0.512$

ANSWER

$\hat{p}=0.488$

$\hat{q}=0.512$
