Answer 1

(Choice A). Since the poll respondents are representative of all citizens, we can calculate the approximate number of citizens in favor of a democratic government by multiplying the percentage in favor (70%) by the total number of citizens. 70% of citizens in Genovia favor establishing a democratic government, so approximately 70% of the total population is in favor. Thus, the number of citizens in favor of establishing a democratic government is approximately 70% of the total number of citizens in Genovia.
