Question 1124401: The city of Raleigh has 10400 registered voters. There are two candidates for city council in an upcoming election: Brown and Feliz. The day before the election, a telephone poll of 300 randomly selected registered voters was conducted. 161 said they'd vote for Brown, 123 said they'd vote for Feliz, and 16 were undecided.
Give the sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown. Note: The proportion should be a fraction or decimal, not a percent.


This sample statistic suggests that we might expect
of the 10400 registered voters to vote for Brown.
