Answer:
50% probability that a randomly selected respondent voted for Obama.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have these following probabilities:
60% probability that an Ohio resident does not have a college degree.
If an Ohio resident does not have a college degree, a 52% probability that he voted for Obama.
40% probability that an Ohio resident has a college degree.
If an Ohio resident has a college degree, a 47% probability that he voted for Obama.
What is the probability that a randomly selected respondent voted for Obama?
This is the sum of 52% of 60%(non college degree) and 47% of 40%(college degree).
So
50% probability that a randomly selected respondent voted for Obama.

Answers:
f(-3) = -1
f(-1) = 2
f(3) = 5
======================================
Explanations:
Draw a vertical line through -3 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the orange graph. Mark this point of intersection and then draw a horizontal line from this point to the y axis. You should find that it touches -1 on the y axis. Check out the attached image to see this process in action.
Those steps basically say that x = -3 leads to y = -1. Since y = f(x), this means f(-3) = -1
Through similar steps, you should find that f(-1) = 2 and f(3) = 5
Note that the open hole/circle does not count. So if you land on an open hole, just keep going until you hit a closed circle on the other piece of the graph.
