Population Proportion

Concept

Population Proportion

Population proportion describes the proportion of a population that has a certain characteristic. For example, if a population consists of $500$ people and $200$ of these are married, then the population proportion for being married is $\frac{2 0 0}{5 0 0} = 0.4 = 40 % .$
