Question
A poll is conducted to determine who is most likely to win the election for town mayor. Two random samples of 500 residents each are polled. The data is as follows.
Candidate A Candidate B Total
Sample 1 346 154 500
Sample 2 248 252 500
What percentage of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor?
(1 point)
%
Adding up the total number of residents who would vote for Candidate A in both samples, we get 346 + 248 = 594 residents.
The total number of residents polled is 500 + 500 = 1000 residents.
To find the percentage, we calculate (594/1000) * 100% = 59.4%
Therefore, approximately 59.4% of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor.
