Suppose a sample of 455 people is drawn. Of these people, 254 passed out at G forces greater than 6. Using the data, estimate the proportion of people who pass out at more than 6 Gs. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

Solutions

Expert Solution

proportion of people who pass out at more than 6 Gs = 254 / 455 = 0.558 (ans)
