There are a total of 800 registered voters in Smallville who are 50+ years old. Out of these, 320 are Democrats. Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected voter in Smallville is a Democrat given that this voter is 50+ can be calculated as:
P(Democrat | 50+) = 320/800
P(Democrat | 50+) = 0.4
So, the probability that a randomly selected voter in Smallville is a Democrat given that this voter is 50+ is 0.4 or 40%.
A survey of the Registrar of Voters office in Smallville showed the information shown in the table.
