Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Total Population (N)

The total number of items in the population is given as ^N = 727^.

Step 2: Identify the Number of Occurrences of the Specific Outcome of Interest (n_i)

The number of occurrences of the specific outcome of interest is given as ^n_i = 287^ for the outcome ^i = not paid on time^.

Step 3: Calculate the Probability

The probability of the outcome of interest is calculated using the formula \(P(i) = \frac{n_i}{N}\). Substituting the given values, we get \(P(i) = \frac{287}{727} = 0.395\). After rounding to 4 decimal places, the probability is ^0.395^.

Final Answer:

The probability of the outcome ^not paid on time^ occurring within the total population is ^0.395^.
