Question:

A random sample of 100 individuals provides 25 positive responses. Then the point estimate of the population proportion with "positive" responses is:

Options:

0.25

0.025

0.125

125

Correct Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 0.25

Given:

Sample size: $n = 100$

Number of positive responses: $x = 25$

Point estimate of population proportion: $\hat{p} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25$
