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

Answer 1

To find the number of people above age 30 who are for the candidate, we need to add the number of people in the "For" category for the age groups 31-40 and Over 40.

From the table:

• For age group 31-40: 30 people are for the candidate.
• For age group Over 40: 25 people are for the candidate.

Now we can add these two numbers together:

30 (for 31-40) + 25 (for Over 40) = 55

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