there are four presidential candidates in a country a streyy was conducted asking 2500 registered voters which canidatebthey will vote for in coming election candidate 1250 candidate 21250 Candia 3450 canidat 4550 what is the probability of randomly selecting a person who will vote for candidate 1 or 2 answer as a persentage if 1000 more voters are surveyed how many of them will likely prefer candidate 3 or 4
To find the probability of randomly selecting a person who will vote for candidate 1 or 2, we need to add the number of voters who will vote for candidate 1 and candidate 2. This gives us a total of 1250 + 1250 = 2500 voters who will vote for candidate 1 or 2.
The total number of registered voters surveyed is 2500.
Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a person who will vote for candidate 1 or 2 is 2500/2500 = 1.
As a percentage, the probability is 1 x 100 = 100%.
If 1000 more voters are surveyed, we can expect a similar proportion of voters who will prefer candidate 3 or 4.
Therefore, likely, 1000 x 0.5 = 500 of the additional 1000 voters surveyed will prefer candidate 3 or 4.
