Question

a sample of 120 employees shows that 72 prefer remote work. based on this sample, what is the estimated proportion of employees in the entire company who prefer remote work?
a. 0.70
b. 0.50
c. 0.35
d. 0.60

Explanation:

Step1: Recall proportion formula

The proportion $\hat{p}=\frac{x}{n}$, where $x$ is the number of successes and $n$ is the sample - size.
Here, $x = 72$ (number of employees who prefer remote work) and $n=120$ (sample size of employees).

Step2: Calculate the proportion

$\hat{p}=\frac{72}{120}=0.6$

Answer:

There is no correct option provided in the given choices as the calculated proportion is 0.6.
