Algebra.Com's Answer #681330 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! C. The proportion of a sample is p with caret. It is 0.236, because one has to count all of the people surveyed, not just the yes-no, unless for specific reasons someone chooses to do it that way. This is the \"no opinion\" part of the survey. \n" ); document.write( " |
