You have a sample of 54 employees at ABC Enterprises, and this is a sample of the population. We want to use this sample to learn about the entire population of workers at the company. We are going to treat the population as if it is not a finite population.

Annie is a company employee who grew up with 7 older brothers. She noticed that they tended to eat more than she did, and she assumed that this characteristic applied to the general population. In other words, she believes that males eat more than females. She wondered if the proportion of male employees in the company was impacting the survey results.

Answer these questions:

• What proportion of the sample are male?
