Step 1 :A survey was conducted by a reputable polling organization on 2325 adults aged 18 and older in a certain large country. The survey found that 427 of these adults have donated blood in the past two years.
Step 2 :We are asked to obtain a point estimate for the population proportion of adults in the country aged 18 and older who have donated blood in the past two years.
Step 3 :The point estimate for the population proportion, denoted as \( \hat{p} \), is calculated by dividing the number of adults who have donated blood by the total number of adults surveyed.
Step 4 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get \( \hat{p} = \frac{427}{2325} \).
Step 5 :Calculating the above expression, we get \( \hat{p} = 0.18365591397849462 \).
Step 6 :Rounding to three decimal places as needed, we get \( \hat{p} = 0.184 \).
Step 7 :Final Answer: The point estimate for the population proportion of adults in the country aged 18 and older who have donated blood in the past two years is \( \boxed{0.184} \).
