Suppose a sample of 716 suspected criminals is drawn. Of these people, 286 were captured. Using the data, estimate the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most Wanted list. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The proportion is p = 0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimate of a proportion is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

286 people captured, so D = 286.

Total outcomes:

Sample of 716 suspected criminals, so T = 716.

Proportion

[tex]p = \frac{286}{716} = 0.399[/tex]
