Answer:
[tex]35\%[/tex] represents the sample proportion of the population
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 947
The proportion of the population that believes that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year is [tex]k = 35\% = 0.35[/tex]
From the question we are told the confidence level is 97%
The lower limit of the confidence level is a = 28%
The upper limit of the b = 42%
Generally the sample proportion of this population is mathematically represented as
[tex]\^ p = \frac{a+ b}{2}[/tex]
=> [tex]\^ p = \frac{28 + 42 }{2}[/tex]
=> [tex]\^ p = 35\%[/tex]
Hence [tex]35\%[/tex] represents the sample proportion
