Question

In one town 44% of all voters are Democrats if two voters are randomly selected for a survey find the probability that they are both Democrats. round to the nearest thousandth if necessary.
0.189
0.880
0.440
0.194

Answer 1

Answer:

0.194

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that BOTH are democrats means probability of "one being democrat" AND "another also being democrat".

The AND means we need to MULTIPLY the individual probability of a person being democrat.

Probability that a voter is democrat is 44% (0.44) -- stated in the problem

Now, Probability BOTH being Democrats is simply MULTIPLYING 0.44 with 0.44

$0.44*0.44=0.1936$

Rounded to nearest thousandth, 0.194

Last answer choice is correct.
