A recent survey of 1090 U. S. adults selected at random showed that 623 consider the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige. Estimate the probability (to the nearest hundredth) that a U. S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige.

0.572

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

We have

n = 1090 of US adults

x = 623 selected from this population at random who consider the occupation to be one of great prestige

So we have that

The probability of X = x/n

= 623/1090

= 0.572

We conclude that 0.572 is the probability that a US adult selected at random thinks the occupation has great prestige.
