Final answer:

To find the point estimates for p and q, divide the number of successes by the sample size. The point estimate for p is 3042/4379 and the point estimate for q is 1-p'.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the point estimates for p and q in this problem, we need to use the formula for sample proportion:



p' = x/n



In this case, x is the number of successes (3042) and n is the sample size (4379).



So, the point estimate for p is 3042/4379 and the point estimate for q is 1-p'.
