1. The probability that a randomly selected person from the database voted for candidate A is calculated by adding up the percentage of respondents in each age group who voted for candidate A.
Probability = (65% of 9%) + (54% of 7%) + (51% of 16%) + (54% of 16%) + (47% of 30%) + (47% of 22%)
= 0.65(0.09) + 0.54(0.07) + 0.51(0.16) + 0.54(0.16) + 0.47(0.30) + 0.47(0.22)
= 0.0585 + 0.0378 + 0.0816 + 0.0864 + 0.1410 + 0.1034
= 0.5087
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person from the database voted for candidate A is 50.87%.
2. The probability that a randomly selected person from the database voted for candidate A and is aged 40-49 years is calculated as follows:
Probability = 0.54(0.16)
= 0.0864
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person from the database voted for candidate A and is aged 40-49 years is 8.64%.
3. The probability that a randomly selected person from the database voted for candidate B or is aged 25-29 years is calculated by adding up the percentage of respondents in each category.
Probability = (31% of 9%) + (43% of 7%)
= 0.31(0.09) + 0.43(0.07)
= 0.0279 + 0.0301
= 0.058
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person from the database voted for candidate B or is aged 25-29 years is 5.8%.
4. If 1,000 more voters were surveyed, the expected number of voters from the 50-64 age group would be:
Expected number = 0.47(1000) = 470
5. If 1,000 more voters were surveyed, the expected number of voters who were 25-29 years or who voted for candidate B would be:
Expected number = (0.07 + 0.43)(1000) = 500
6. To determine if it would have been more likely to poll a 50-64-year-old candidate A supporter than a 30-39-year-old candidate B supporter with 1,000 more voters surveyed, we compare the probabilities.
For 50-64-year-old candidate A supporters:
Probability = 0.47
Expected number = 0.47(1000) = 470
For 30-39-year-old candidate B supporters:
Probability = 0.46
Expected number = 0.46(1000) = 460
Since the probability and expected number for 50-64-year-old candidate A supporters are higher, it would have been more likely to poll a 50-64-year-old candidate A supporter than a 30-39-year-old candidate B supporter with 1,000 more voters surveyed.

A news network published the results of an exit poll conducted during a presidential election. The survey reported 15,590 total respondents. Respondents are categorized according to age-groups. Table 4 reflects the percentage distribution of respondents and the percentage of respondents from each group who voted for candidate A or candidate B.
The entries in the first column mean that 65% of the respondents who were aged 18-24 years at that time voted for candidate A and 31% chose candidate B. This led to a 4% unreported response, which could either mean that they did not cast a vote for president or they did not want to share their votes.

Use the results of the exit poll to answer the succeeding questions.
If a respondent is randomly selected from the database, what is the probability that that person is among those who voted for candidate A?
If a respondent is randomly selected from the database, what is the probability that that person is among those who voted for candidate A and aged 40–49 years?
If a respondent is randomly selected from the database, what is the probability that that person is among those who voted for candidate B or aged 25–29 years?
If 1,000 more voters were surveyed, what would have been the expected number of voters from this group who were 50–64 years?
If 1,000 more voters were surveyed, what would have been the expected number of voters from this group who were 25–29 years or who voted for candidate B?
If 1,000 more voters were surveyed, would it have been more likely to poll a 50–64-year-old candidate A supporter than a 30–39-year-old candidate B supporter? How can you tell?
For the first one, I think I figured it out. Since the data base is the whole thing, the total is 586, which goes down to 5.86

Idk if you're right
Let's reevaluate the calculations for each question to ensure accuracy:
1. Probability of selecting a respondent who voted for candidate A:
Total Probability = (65% of 9%) + (54% of 7%) + (51% of 16%) + (54% of 16%) + (47% of 30%) + (47% of 22%)
Total Probability = 0.585 + 0.378 + 0.816 + 0.864 + 1.41 + 1.034
Total Probability = 4.087
Therefore, the probability of selecting a respondent who voted for candidate A is 4.087 or 40.87%.
2. Probability of selecting a respondent who voted for candidate A and is aged 40-49 years:
Probability = 0.54 (percentage of 40-49 years)
Probability = 0.54 * 0.16
Probability = 0.0864
Therefore, the probability of selecting a respondent who voted for candidate A and is aged 40-49 years is 8.64%.
3. Probability of selecting a respondent who voted for candidate B or is aged 25-29 years:
Probability = (31% of 9%) + (43% of 7%)
Probability = 0.31*0.09 + 0.43*0.07
Probability = 0.0279 + 0.0301
Probability = 0.058
Therefore, the probability of selecting a respondent who voted for candidate B or is aged 25-29 years is 5.8%.
4. Expected number of voters aged 50-64 if 1,000 more voters were surveyed:
Expected number = 0.47 (percentage of 50-64 years) * 1000
Expected number = 0.47 * 1000
Expected number = 470
5. Expected number of voters aged 25-29 or who voted for candidate B if 1,000 more voters were surveyed:
Expected number = (0.07 + 0.43) * 1000
Expected number = 0.50 * 1000
Expected number = 500
6. Comparison of likelihood of polling a 50-64-year-old candidate A supporter and a 30-39-year-old candidate B supporter with 1,000 more voters surveyed:
Probability of 50-64-year-old candidate A supporter = 0.47
Expected number = 0.47 * 1000 = 470
Probability of 30-39-year-old candidate B supporter = 0.46
Expected number = 0.46 * 1000 = 460
Therefore, based on the calculations above, it would have been more likely to poll a 50-64-year-old candidate A supporter than a 30-39-year-old candidate B supporter with 1,000 more voters surveyed.

nah bruh I have proof that your wrong i'll show it
I'm here to help, and I appreciate your engagement. If you have any proof to share or any specific questions you'd like me to address, please go ahead and provide the information. I'm here to assist you with any concerns or clarifications you may have. Feel free to share the proof, and we can discuss it further.
1. The probability that a randomly selected respondent voted for candidate A can be found by adding up the percentages of each age group who voted for candidate A. The sum of these percentages is 65% + 54% + 51% + 54% + 47% + 47% = 318%. However, since the total percentage should add up to 100%, we need to divide this by 100 to get the probability: 318% / 100% = 3.18 or 3.18%.
2. The probability that a respondent who is among those who voted for candidate A and aged 40-49 years can be calculated by multiplying the percentage of people aged 40-49 who voted for candidate A by the percentage of all respondents who are in that age group. This would be 54% x 16% = 8.64%.
3. To find the probability that a respondent is among those who voted for candidate B or aged 25-29 years, you need to add the percentage of people aged 25-29 who voted for candidate B to the percentage of all respondents who are in that age group. This would be 43% + 7% = 50%.
4. To find the expected number of voters from the group who are 50-64 years old if 1,000 more voters were surveyed, you can multiply the percentage of respondents who are 50-64 years old (30%) by the new total number of respondents (15,590 + 1,000 = 16,590). This would be 30% of 16,590, which is 4,977.
5. To find the expected number of voters who are 25-29 years old or who voted for candidate B if 1,000 more voters were surveyed, you can add the percentage of respondents who are 25-29 years old (7%) to the percentage of respondents who voted for candidate B (31%). Then, multiply the sum by the new total number of respondents (16,590). This would be (7% + 31%) of 16,590.
6. To determine whether it would have been more likely to poll a 50-64-year-old candidate A supporter than a 30-39-year-old candidate B supporter if 1,000
more voters were surveyed, you can compare the probabilities calculated in questions 4 and 5. The group with the higher probability would be more likely to be polled.
