Answer:

The estimate of the population proportion is 0.3232.

Explanation:

Estimate of the population proportion:

The estimate is the sample proportion, which is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

32 out of 99, so:


p = (32)/(99) = 0.3232

The estimate of the population proportion is 0.3232.
