Answer: 0.137.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion of musicians that are left-handed.

Given: Sample size : n= 2690 [subset of population]

Number of musicians that are left-handed: x= 368

Then the sample proportion: $\hat{p}=\dfrac{368}{2690}\approx0.137$

Since sample proportion is the best point estimate of the population proportion.

Hence, a point estimate for p, the population proportion of musicians that are left-handed is 0.137.
