Answer 1

Answer:

The correct choice is:

 A resident in the group who supports the tax is likely to be male.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is given by:

                   Support              Against           Total

Female            20%                    74%              54%

Male                 80%                    27%              44%

Total                 100%                  100%             100%

Based on the table we observe that the of the people who supported the tax most of them are males.

Since the percent of males who supported tax are 80% which is more than the females who supported tax i.e. 20%.

Hence, the answer is: last option.
