Answer:

Estimate of the population proportion [tex]\mathbf{\widehat{(P)}}[/tex] = 0.147

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Wiley Publications has determined that out of a sample of 7,831 of its publications for 2012, 1,157 of them had been pirated online in some form.

Let x be the no of publication had been pirated online in some form.

x = 1157

n = 7831

Population proportion [tex]\boldsymbol{\widehat{P} = \frac{x}{n}}[/tex]

                                           =  [tex]\frac{1157}{7831}[/tex]

                                         =  0.147
