Question

1. Determine the percent of all voters that did not vote Republican or Democrat but voted "other" instead. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
2.What is the probability that a randomly chosen male voter is a registered Democrat? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 10%

2. 49.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The percent of voters who are other is the number of other divided by the total number of voters.

The number of "other" votes is 222. The number of total votes is 2,222.

The percent is 222/2222 = 0.0999. Times the decimal by 100 for the percent.

0.0999*100 = 9.99% rounds to 10%.

2. The probability is found by finding the number of male and registered as democrat, which is 600, and dividing it by the number of males, which is 1,222.

600/1,222 = 0.4909

Multiply by the decimal by 100 to find the percent.

0.4909*100 = 49.09 which rounds to 49.1%.
