Final answer:

To find the sample proportion, divide the number of employees who said they have taken a college course by the total number of employees surveyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sample proportion, we divide the number of employees who said they have taken a college course by the total number of employees surveyed.

Number of employees who said they have taken a college course = 95

Total number of employees surveyed = 168

Sample proportion = (Number of employees who said they have taken a college course) / (Total number of employees surveyed)

Sample proportion = 95 / 168 = 0.5655 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

The answer has to be rounded to become the right answer. With that being said the answer has to be something like 73 out of 100. hope this helps you out.
