Suppose 572 people were randomly sampled in a certain community and it was found that 195 of them had attended college. What proportion of people in the random sample have attended college?
Round to the fourth as needed.

To determine the proportion of people in the random sample who have attended college, use the formula for proportion:

\[
\text{Proportion} = \frac{\text{Number of people who attended college}}{\text{Total number of people sampled}}
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
\text{Proportion} = \frac{195}{572} \approx 0.3409090909
\]

Rounding to the fourth decimal place:

\[
\text{Proportion} \approx 0.3409
\]

So, the proportion of people in the random sample who have attended college is **0.3409**.
