Answer:

The sample proportion, p, of gun owners who own gun for protection is 0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The sample size = 3930

The number of individuals who reported that they owned guns at least on gun = 1269

The number of the self reported gun owners that said the reason they owned gun for protection = 850

The sample proportion, p, of gun owners who own gun for protection is given as follows;

p = (The number of the self reported gun owners that said the reason they owned gun for protection )/(The number of individuals who reported that they owned guns at least on gun)

p = 850/1269 = 0.6698 ≈ 0.670 (to three decimal places)

Therefore, the sample proportion, p, of gun owners who own gun for protection = 0.67.
