uppose 305 people were randomly sampled in a certain community and it was found that 51 of them had attended college. What proportion of people in the random sample have attended college?
***Round to the fourth as needed.***

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

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

Substituting the given values:

\[
\text{Proportion} = \frac{51}{305} \approx 0.1672131148
\]

Rounding to the fourth decimal place:

\[
\text{Proportion} \approx 0.1672
\]

So, the proportion of people in the random sample who have attended college is **0.1672**.
