so first, what does p stand for?

OpenStudy (gotquestions281):
P is the entire population, while P hat is the sampled population. Right?

100% - 48% = ? for Pfemales
OpenStudy (gotquestions281):
52%
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
p stands for proportion in this case. Phat is sample proportion
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
it gets confusing in stats since the same letters stand for different things so often
OpenStudy (vuriffy):
So, now you have two boxes filled out of the four.
For the sample population, you may divide 11 by 25 for the male proportion. While using the same technique of subtracting that value from 100 for the female proportion.

So it would be 44% for the males and 56% for the females?
