Question

The conditional relative frequency table was generated using data that compares the number of voters in the last election and whether or not they worked on election day. Fifty people who voted and 85 people who did not vote were chosen at random and surveyed.
A 4-column table with 3 rows. The first column has no label with entries did work, did not work, total. The second column is labeled did vote with entries 0.64, 0.36, 1.0. The third column is labeled did not vote with entries 0.4, 0.6, 1.0. The fourth column is labeled total with entries 0.49, 0.51, 1.0.

How many people in the survey worked on election day?

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that 66 people in the survey worked on election day.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

For this problem, the amounts of people who worked are:

• 64% of 50(voted).

• 40% of 85(did not vote).

Hence the total amount is given by:

0.64 x 50 + 0.4 x 85 = 66.

66 people in the survey worked on election day.
