Voting
In a survey of 350 registered voters in belair,123 said that they would vote for the democratic candidate for mayor. if registered voter is selected at random, what is the probability that this person will vote for the democratic candidate.
123 / 350
To find the probability that a randomly selected registered voter will vote for the Democratic candidate, we need to divide the number of voters who said they would vote for the Democratic candidate by the total number of registered voters.
In this case, 123 out of 350 registered voters said they would vote for the Democratic candidate. Therefore, the probability can be calculated as:
Probability = Number of voters who would vote for the Democratic candidate / Total number of registered voters
Probability = 123 / 350
To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). In this case, the GCF of 123 and 350 is 1. Dividing both numbers by 1 gives:
Probability = 123 / 350
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected registered voter will vote for the Democratic candidate is approximately 0.3514 or 35.14%.
