At a local high school football game, 150 randomly selected people were surveyed about the location of the concession stand. 108 of the people feel the stand should be closer to the bleachers. Find the best point estimate of the proportion of all people attending the game who feel the concession stand should be closer to the bleachers.

A) 0.28

B) 0.72

C) 1.08

D) 1.50

Answer:

Option B

The best point estimate of the proportion of people attending the game who believe that the concession stand should be closer to the stands is:

p = 0.72.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to estimate the proportion of people who feel that the stand should be closer to the stands.

We have a sample of 150 people, of which 108 think that the stand should be closer to the stands.

A point estimator for the proportion p is [tex]p\¨[/tex].

Where

[tex]p\¨ = \frac{x}{n}[/tex]

Where n represents the size of the sample and represents the number of favorable cases.

We know that [tex]n = 150[/tex] and [tex]x = 108[/tex].

Then we can estimate p by the estimator [tex]p\¨[/tex]

[tex]p\¨= \frac{108}{150}[/tex]

[tex]p\¨ = 0.72[/tex]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. 0.72
