Vito · Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimate of the true proportion of park users who are residents outside of the city is the number of park users in the sample who are residents outside of the city divided by the size of the sample.

In this problem:

26 park users resided outside the city, in a sample of 200 park users.

So

p = 26/200 = 0.13

So the answer is True
