Explanation :

GIVEN :

• Population Sample = ,10400

,

• Surveyed sample = ,200

,

• Number of registered voters to vote for Brow =, 119

(i) The sample proportion ( sample statistics ) can be determined by :

`\begin{gathered} Sample\text{ proportion \lparen brown \rparen = }\frac{number\text{ of registered voters who will vote for Brown }}{the\text{ number of voters selected for survey }} \\ \\ \text{ = }(119)/(200) \\ \text{ = 0.595 } \end{gathered}`
