How many of the 3271 subjects used at least one prescription medication? Round to the nearest integer asneeded.)
Answer:
2902
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of adults within the mentioned age bracket be n=3271
The proportion of adults who used at least one prescription medication be p=88.7%=0.887
The point estimate of population is given by
[tex]p=\frac {x}{n}[/tex] where x is number of individuals in the sample with the specified characteristics and n is the sample size.
Let x be the adults who used at least one prescription medication
[tex]0.887=\frac {x}{3271}[/tex]
[tex]x=3271*0.887=2901.377\approx 2902[/tex]
