GMU uses a robot food delivery service which now has been utilized in the City of Fairfax. One of the potential benefits of this service is to help the busiest students eat breakfast. Research has shown that about 80% of college students skip breakfast due to busy schedules and other reasons. Initial data were collected from a random sample of 595 Mason students who utilize the robot food delivery service and are presented in StatCrunch. Show the full calculation of the sample proportion by including the number of students who skipped breakfast, the total number of students sampled, and the value of the sample proportion. Present this sample proportion as a decimal rounded to four decimal places. Frequency table results for Breakfast?Count = 595 Breakfast? Frequency Relative Frequency 0 142 0.23865546 1 453 0.76134454
