An investigator wishes to estimate the proportion of Type II diabetic patients who take insulin to manage their diabetes.  A random sample of 270 Type II diabetics was sampled and X of those reported taking insulin to manage their diabetes. An analysis of this information was done in R and the output for the analysis is given below:

    1-sample proportions test with continuity correction
data:  X out of 270, null probability 0.5
X-squared = 4.537, df = 1, p-value = 0.03317
alternative hypothesis: true p is not equal to 0.5
95 percent confidence interval:
 0.505   0.626

 

What is the sample proportion of those who reported taking insulin to manage their diabetes?
