Before an election, 5,000 voters were asked for their preferences. One thousand two hundred (1,200) said they would vote for Candidate A; 3,000 preferred Candidate B; and the rest were undecided. What is the relative frequency of undecided voters? Express the answer in decimal form. bot

Answer 1

There were a total of 5,000 voters surveyed. We know that 1,200 said they would vote for Candidate A and 3,000 preferred Candidate B. That leaves:

5,000 - 1,200 - 3,000 = 800

So, there are 800 undecided voters. To find the relative frequency of undecided voters, we need to divide the number of undecided voters by the total number of voters surveyed:

800 / 5,000 = 0.16

Therefore, the relative frequency of undecided voters is 0.16 or 16% (expressed in decimal form).
