The FBI wants to determine the effectiveness of their
10 Most Wanted list. To do so, they need to find out the
fraction of people who appear on the list that are actually
caught.
Step 1 of 2 :
Suppose a sample of 517 suspected criminals is drawn.
Of these people, 211 were captured. Using the data,
estimate the proportion of people who were caught after being on
the 10 Most Wanted list. Enter your answer as a fraction
or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.
