A poll was taken to explore the relationship between the age and support for a candidate in an election. The results of the poll are summarized in the table. How many people above the age 30 are for the candidate?
To determine the number of people above the age of 30 who support the candidate, we need to sum the number of people in the age groups above 30 who support the candidate.
From the table:
- 18-30: 40 support the candidate
- 31-50: 30 support the candidate
- 51 and above: 25 support the candidate
Total number of people above the age of 30 who support the candidate = 30 (31-50) + 25 (51 and above) = 55
Therefore, there are 55 people above the age of 30 who support the candidate.
