A survey is mailed to 10001000 randomly chosen residents. Of the 400400 who respond, 120120 favor a proposal. To deal with nonresponse, the researchers take a simple random sample of 5050 of the 600600 nonrespondents and interview each of them in person; 2020 of these favor the proposal. Estimate the percent of all 10001000 residents who favor the proposal.
