In a population of subjects, possess a certain characteristic. A sample of subjects selected from this population has subjects who possess the same characteristic. What are the values of the population and sample proportions?

the values of the population and sample proportions is 0.64 and 0.6 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the values of the sample proportions and the population is shown below:

Given that

Let us assume the population be P

N= 1000

X = subjects possess specific characteristic = 640

So,

P  = X ÷ N

= 640 ÷ 1000

= 0.64

And, the sample proportion is  

n = 40

x = subjects possess specific characteristic = 24

p =X ÷ N

= 24 ÷ 40

= 0.6

hence, the values of the population and sample proportions is 0.64 and 0.6 respectively
