Question

a survey of 700 non fatal accidents showed that 231 involved the use of a cell phone. find a point estimate for p, the population proportion of non fatal accidents that involved the use of cell phone. a survey of 700 non fatal accidents showed that 231 involved the use of a cell phone. find a point estimate for p, the population proportion of non fatal accidents that involved the use of cell phone. a survey of 700 non fatal accidents showed that 231 involved the use of a cell phone. find a point estimate for p, the population proportion of non fatal accidents that involved the use of cell phone.

Explanation / Answer

Note that the point estimate for the proportion p^ is given by

p^ = x/n

where

x = the who satisfy the condition
n = sample size

hence,

p^ = 231/700 = 0.33 [ANSWER]
