To find the prediction for the number of students who will vote for Joseph, we need to determine the percentage of students who prefer Joseph based on the graph.
From the graph, we can see that the percentage of students who prefer Joseph is approximately 17%.
To find the prediction, we multiply the percentage by the total number of students in the college:
17% of 512 students = (0.17)(512) = 87.04
Rounded to the nearest whole number, this gives us a prediction of 87 students who will vote for Joseph.
Therefore, the closest option is 51.
