Let $p$ be the population proportion for the following condition. Find the point estimates for $p$ and $q$. In a survey of 1423 adults from country A, 534 said that they were not confident that the food they eat in country A is safe.
The point estimate for $p, \hat{p}$, is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Rounding to three decimal places, the point estimate for $p, \hat{p}$, is $\boxed{0.375}$.
Step 1 :Let $p$ be the population proportion for the condition 'not confident that the food they eat in country A is safe'.
Step 2 :In a survey of 1423 adults from country A, 534 said that they were not confident that the food they eat in country A is safe.
Step 3 :The point estimate for $p, \hat{p}$, is the proportion of the sample that meets the condition.
Step 4 :In this case, the number of adults who meet this condition is 534, and the total number of adults surveyed is 1423.
Step 5 :Therefore, the point estimate for $p, \hat{p}$, is $\frac{534}{1423}$.
Step 6 :Calculating this gives $\hat{p} = 0.3752635277582572$.
Step 7 :Rounding to three decimal places, the point estimate for $p, \hat{p}$, is $\boxed{0.375}$.
