Answer:
There were 2747 yes votes.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using proportions.
The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 .
This means that for each 5 + 3 = 8 votes, 5 were yes and 3 were no.
If there were 4395 total votes, how many yes votes were there?
For each 8 votes, we have 5 yes. How many yes votes were there in 4395 votes?
5 yes - 8 votes
x yes - 4395 votes
8x = 4395*5
x = 4395*5/8
x = 2747
There were 2747 yes votes.
What we can say with a good deal of certainty is that our sample is biased towards the higher spectrum and that the real value of the mean for our population is lower than the obtained value of our sample. If this is true, we should expect for the standard deviation to be higher than in the population.
