If 1,000 more voters are surveyed, we can estimate the number of voters who will likely prefer Candidate 3 or 4 by assuming that the proportion of supporters for Candidate 3 or 4 remains the same.
Number of supporters for Candidate 3: 450
Number of supporters for Candidate 4: 55
Total number of supporters for Candidate 3 or 4: 450 + 55 = 505
Assuming the proportion remains the same, for every 2500 voters, 505 will prefer Candidate 3 or 4. Therefore, for 1000 more voters, we can calculate:
505/2500 = X/1000
Cross-multiply: 2500X = 505*1000 = 505000
X = 505000/2500 = 202
Therefore, out of the additional 1000 voters surveyed, approximately 202 of them will likely prefer Candidate 3 or 4.

If 1,000 more people vote, we can guess that about 202 of them will like Candidate 3 or 4. This is because 505 out of every 2,500 people like those candidates, so we can figure out how many out of the extra 1,000 will probably like them too!
