Answer: 0.48 .

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The sample proportion is a ratio of number of successes in a sample to the sample size.

Let p be the proportion of voters actually voted for the Republican presidential candidate.

Given:   In a random sample of 100 voters, 48 said they planned on voting for the Republican presidential candidate.

Sample proportion: [tex]\hat{p}=\dfrac{48}{100}=0.48[/tex]
