A quality analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether four machines, all producing the same product, are in control with regard to a particular quality attribute. Accordingly, she inspected 1,000 units of output from each machine in random samples, with the following results: $$\begin{array} { c c }
\text { Machine } & \text { Total Defectives } \
\hline \# 1 & 23 \
\# 2 & 15 \
\# 3 & 29 \
\# 4 & 13
\end{array}$$
What is the estimate of the process proportion of defectives?
A) .08
B) .06
C) .04
D) .02
E) .01
