31-40 [30] 50] 25]
over 40 [25 35 8

A poll was taken to explore the relationship between the age and support for a candidate in an election. The results of the poll are summarized in the table. How many people above the age 30 are for the candidate? (1 point) Responses 40 40 55 55 70 70 95

Answer 1

To find out how many people above the age of 30 are "for" the candidate, we’ll sum the number of people who are for the candidate in the age groups 31-40 and over 40.

From the table:

• For the age group 31-40, the number of people "for" the candidate is 30.
• For the age group over 40, the number of people "for" the candidate is 25.

Now, add these two amounts together:

30 (for age 31-40) + 25 (for age over 40) = 55

Thus, the total number of people above the age of 30 who are for the candidate is 55.
