Candidate A. Candidate B. Total

Sample 1 346. 154. 500

Sample 2 248. 252. 500

What percentage of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor?

To calculate the percentage of residents who would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor, you need to find the percentage of the total that Candidate A received in both samples.

In Sample 1, Candidate A received 346 votes out of a total of 500 votes. To find the percentage, divide the number of votes for Candidate A by the total number of votes and multiply by 100:

Percentage of Sample 1 = (346 / 500) * 100 = 69.2%

In Sample 2, Candidate A received 248 votes out of a total of 500 votes. To find the percentage, divide the number of votes for Candidate A by the total number of votes and multiply by 100:

Percentage of Sample 2 = (248 / 500) * 100 = 49.6%

To find the overall percentage of residents who would vote for Candidate A, you need to calculate the average percentage from both samples:

Overall Percentage = (Percentage of Sample 1 + Percentage of Sample 2) / 2

Overall Percentage = (69.2% + 49.6%) / 2 = 58.4%

Therefore, approximately 58.4% of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor.

For Sample 1, 69.2% of residents would vote for Candidate A (346/500 x 100). For Sample 2, 49.6% of residents would vote for Candidate A (248/500 x 100). To find the percentage for the total polled residents, we can add the number of votes for Candidate A in each sample and divide by the total number of voters: (346 + 248) / (500 + 500) x 100 = 47%. Therefore, 47% of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor.
