Iglish

To calculate the probability that a voter in the poll voted for Phil Montoya, we need to divide the number of votes for Phil Montoya by the total number of votes.

The total number of votes is the sum of the votes for all candidates:

Total votes = Phil + Eric + Alice

= 400 + 260 + 340

= 1000

Then, we divide the votes for Phil Montoya by the total number of votes:

Probability of voting for Phil Montoya = (Votes for Phil Montoya) / (Total votes)

= 400 / 1000

= 0.4

Therefore, the probability that a voter selected at random from the poll voted for Phil Montoya is 0.4, or 40%.

400/(400 +260 +340) = 400/1000 = 40%
