To find the expected number of votes the candidate would receive from a population of 40,000, we first need to calculate the proportion of the sample that supports the candidate.
Proportion of sample supporting the candidate = 624 / 1100 = 0.5673
Now, we can use this proportion to estimate the number of votes the candidate would receive from a population of 40,000.
Expected number of votes = Proportion supporting the candidate x Total population
Expected number of votes = 0.5673 x 40,000 = 22,692
Therefore, the candidate can expect to receive approximately 22,692 votes from a population of 40,000.
Proportion of sample supporting the candidate = 624 / 1100 = 0.5673
Now, we can use this proportion to estimate the number of votes the candidate would receive from a population of 40,000.

Expected number of votes = 0.5673 x 40,000 = 22,692
Therefore, the candidate can expect to receive approximately 22,692 votes from a population of 40,000.
