In a survey of 7,786 randomly selected adults living in Germany, 5,840 said they exercised for at least 30 minutes three or more times per week.

Identify, with the proper notation, the quantity being estimated.

• phat = the number of German adults who exercise for 30 minutes three or more times per week.

• phat  = proportion number of German adults who exercise for 30 minutes three or more times per week.

• p = the number of German adults who exercise for 30 minutes three or more times per week.

• p = proportion of German adults who exercise for 30 minutes three or more times per week.
