Answer:
A. The point estimate corresponding to the population proportion is 959 college graduates
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The percentage of the college graduates that said that college education gave them maturity, p' = 69%
The number of college graduates included in the study, n = 1,390
The point estimation is the process of using a sample data for the calculation of a single value
The point estimate of a population proportion, p', in a sample where there are 'x' number of success and the sample size is 'n', is given as follows;
p' = x/n
Therefore, we have;
x = n × p'
A. The point estimate, x', corresponding to the population proportion, p' = 69%, is given as follows;
x = 1,390 × 69/100 ≈ 959 (we round down to the nearest whole number (college graduate)
Therefore;
The point estimate corresponding to the population proportion, x = 959
