Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

Given that a survey of 500 likely voters showed that 385 felt that the economy was the most important national issue.

Sample size n = 500

favor who feel the ecomomy is the most important national issue x= 385

Sample proportion =
`(x)/(n) \\=0.77`

Sample proportion would be the point estimate for population proportion of voters who feel the ecomomy is the most important national issue.

Hence the point estimate (p-hat0 for p, the population proportion of voters who feel the ecomomy is the most important national issue

is 0.77
