If a person voted for a Republican Party candidate, what is the probability that the person is a female?
The total number of people who voted Republican is 20 + 25 = 45.
Out of those 45, the number who are female is 25.
Therefore, the probability that a person who voted for a Republican candidate is female is 25/45, which simplifies to 5/9 or approximately 0.56.
To find the probability that a person who voted for a Republican candidate is female, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of female Republican voters to the total number of Republican voters.
In this case, the number of female Republican voters is 25, and the total number of Republican voters is 20 + 25 = 45.
So, the probability that a person who voted for a Republican candidate is female is:
25 / 45 = 5/9
Therefore, the probability is 5/9 or approximately 0.556 (rounded to three decimal places).
