To determine how many of the additional 1,000 voters will likely prefer Candidate 3 or 4, we need to first find the proportions of voters who prefer these candidates in the original survey.
Let's say in the original survey of 2,000 voters, the percentages of voters who prefer Candidate 3 and Candidate 4 are x% and y% respectively.
If we assume that these percentages remain constant, then out of the additional 1,000 voters surveyed, we can expect approximately x% of them to prefer Candidate 3 and y% of them to prefer Candidate 4.
Therefore, the number of additional voters who will likely prefer Candidate 3 or 4 can be calculated as follows:
Number of additional voters preferring Candidate 3 = (x/100) * 1000
Number of additional voters preferring Candidate 4 = (y/100) * 1000
Adding these two numbers together will give us the total number of additional voters who will likely prefer Candidate 3 or 4.
So, the total number of additional voters who will likely prefer Candidate 3 or 4 = [(x/100) * 1000] + [(y/100) * 1000]
Ultimately, this calculation will give you an estimate of how many of the additional 1,000 voters will likely prefer Candidate 3 or 4 based on the proportions observed in the original survey.
If 1,000 more voters are surveyed, how many of them will likely prefer Candidate 3 or 4? Show your work and explain your answer.
