Question

In a random sample of 85 people attending a workshop, 63 of the respondents said the workshop was useful. What is the sample proportion of the people who said the workshop was useful?

Answer 1

divide the number of respondents saying it was useful by the total number
63/85 = 0.74

Answer 2

`(63)/(85)` = 0.741.

Explanation:

Given : In a random sample of 85 people attending a workshop, 63 of the respondents said the workshop was useful.

To find : What is the sample proportion of the people who said the workshop was useful.

Solution : We have given that :

People attending workshop = 85.

Respondents said the workshop was useful = 65 .

Proportion =
`(number\ of\ people\ who\ said\ useful)/(total\ peoples)`.

Proportion :
`(63)/(85)`.

Proportion : 0.741

Therefore,
`(63)/(85)` = 0.741.
