there are four president candidates in a country a street survey was conducted asking 2500 registered voters which candidate they will vote for in the calming election the table summarizes the results of the survey candidate won 250 numbers of supporters candidate to 1250 numbers of supporters candidate three 450 numbers of supporters candidate four 550 supporters what is the probability of relatively selecting that person who will vote for candidate 1 or 2
To calculate the probability of randomly selecting a person who will vote for candidate 1 or 2, we need to add the number of supporters for candidate 1 and candidate 2.
Number of supporters for candidate 1 = 250
Number of supporters for candidate 2 = 1250
Total number of supporters for candidate 1 and 2 = 250 + 1250 = 1500
Total number of registered voters = 2500
Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a person who will vote for candidate 1 or 2 is:
1500/2500 = 0.6
So, the probability is 0.6 or 60%.
