In a survey of 1000 eligible voters selected at random, it was found that 100 had a college degree. Additionally, it was found t

hat 80% of those who had a college degree voted in the last presidential election, whereas 56% of the people who did not have a college degree voted in the last presidential election.

Answer:

A. 8%

B. 39.6%

C. 58.4%

D. 41.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation to determine the probability of eligible voter selected at random

First step is to Draw up a contingincy table which will include Rows = Degree/No degree

and Columns= Vote/Not vote

..............Vote..No vote

Degree 80...20...100

(80%*100=80)

(100-80=20)

No Degree 504..396..900

(1000-100=900)

(56%*900=504)

(504-900=396

Totals 584..416...1000

(80+504=584)

(20+396=416)

(900+100=1,000)

Summary

..............Vote..No vote

Degree 80...20...100

No Degree 504..396..900

Total Totals 584..416...1000

A. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election.

P = 80/1,000

P=0.08*100

P=8%

Therefore the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election will be 8%

B. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election.

P =396/1000

P=0.396*100

P=39.6%

Therefore the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election will be 39.6%

C. Calculation to determine the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election.

P = 584/1,000

P=0.584*100

P=58.4%

Therefore the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election will be 58.4%

D. Calculation to determine the probability if The voter did not vote in the last presidential election.

P = 416/1000

P=0.416*100

P=41.6%

Therefore the probability if The voter did not vote in the last presidential election will be 41.6%

A store sold 2.5 times as many footballs as basketballs last year. What is the number of footballs sold for every basketball sol
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here.  We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is

1 bball = 2.5 fballs

This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:

1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs

or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold.  Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.

b.y = 14

c. y =56

Step-by-step explanation:

a .6 (1)- 4=2

y=2

b. 6 (3)- 4

=18-4

y=14

c. 6 (10) - 4

= 60 - 4 =56
