will most likely have voted for Cramer.

Answer 1

To find the expected number of people who would vote for Cramer based on the provided data, we first need to calculate the total number of votes for Cramer and the total number of votes from all precincts.

From the table:

• Votes for Cramer:
  • Precinct 1: 13
  • Precinct 2: 25
  • Precinct 3: 10

Total votes for Cramer = 13 + 25 + 10 = 48

Total votes counted from all precincts = 50 (Precinct 1) + 50 (Precinct 2) + 50 (Precinct 3) = 150.

Next, we can calculate the proportion of people who voted for Cramer:

Proportion of votes for Cramer = Total votes for Cramer / Total votes = 48 / 150.

Now, let's find this proportion:

48 / 150 ≈ 0.32 (approximately).

Now we can use this proportion to estimate how many out of 5500 people would most likely have voted for Cramer:

Expected number of votes for Cramer = 0.32 * 5500 ≈ 1760.

Thus, if 5500 people are asked who they voted for in the election, approximately 1760 will most likely have voted for Cramer.
