A random sample of 100 individuals provides 25 positive responses. Then the point estimate of the population proportion with "positive" responses is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 0.25
Given:
Sample size: $n = 100$
Number of positive responses: $x = 25$
Point estimate of population proportion: $\hat{p} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25$
