I don’t have enough information to pick one of those choices. Could you paste the full problem or the numbers/diagram it refers to (e.g. counts or percentages of eligible voters, of people over 24, or a contingency table)?

How to get the answer once you have the data:
- If you are given the number (or percent) who are eligible voters AND over 24, divide that by the total population to get the portion.
- If you are given separate fractions for “eligible voters” (E) and “over 24” (O) but not their overlap, you need the overlap (E ∩ O). If E and O are independent you could multiply P(E)·P(O), but you must be told independence to do that.
Example: if 60% are eligible voters and 50% are over 24 and you’re told these traits are independent, portion = 0.60·0.50 = 0.30 = 3/10.

Give the missing numbers and I’ll compute which choice is correct.
