A TV pollster believes that 75% of all TV households would be tuned in to Game 6 of 1997 NBA Championship series between the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz. A sample of 1000 TV households was selected and 722 indicated they were tuned into the game. Find the point estimate for the proportion of households tuned into the game.
