Question

let p be the population proportion for the following condition. find the point estimates for p and q.
in a survey of 1369 adults from country a, 521 said that they were not confident that the food they eat in country a is safe.
the point estimate for p, \\( \hat { p } \\), is 0.381.
(round to three decimal places as needed.)
the point estimate for q, \\( \hat { q } \\), is
(round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between $\hat{p}$ and $\hat{q}$

In proportion - related problems, we know that $\hat{q}=1 - \hat{p}$.

Step2: Substitute the value of $\hat{p}$

Given $\hat{p}=0.381$, then $\hat{q}=1 - 0.381$.
