Using it's concept, it is found that the best estimate for the percentage of damaged apples is of 5%.

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

[tex]P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%[/tex]

From the sample, 15 out of 300 apples are damaged, hence the estimate of the percentage is given by:

[tex]P = \frac{15}{300} \times 100\% = 5\%[/tex]
