"Americans in this decade are less likely than in the prior decade to say they want to lose weight, with the average dropping from 59% in 2000-2009 to 53% in 2010-2016. The percentage of Americans wanting to lose weight is now back to where it was in the 1990s, but still well above the 35% average that Gallup measured in the 1950s."

Answer :

Shakiru

Answer a. Estimate a population proportion.

Explanation:

A population proportion denotes a specific attribute of a population measured in percentage, the above analysis is on losing weight by the populace.

A mean only refers to the average of the population without reference to a particular quality.

The analysis is not testing a claim but it's only making reference to earlier findings on the population. A claim would have given us a specific quality which the population has been predicted or established to adhere to.
