The countryside around Atlantis has recently been invaded by beefalos. You've been tasked by the government with studying these strange creatures and presenting your findings.

Since it would be difficult to study evey single beefalo, you make things easier by selecting a random sample of one out of every five beefalos. You measure the percentage of beefalos with nose rings for this group and find a result of 41 percent.
