Solution

The population proportion is the estimated percentage of the total population that has a certain characteristic. In this case, it is estimated that 15% of the students ride bicycles to school. This can be expressed as a decimal by dividing 15 by 100, which equals 0.15. So, the value of the population proportion is 0.15.
