Question

what is the probability that a registered voter voted in the election?
the probability that a registered voter voted in the election is approximately
(round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of registered voters

Total voters = Voted + Did not vote = \(3193531+3493785\)
$$3193531 + 3493785=6687316$$

Step2: Calculate probability of a voter having voted

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Voted}}{\text{Total voters}}=\frac{3193531}{6687316}\)
Using a calculator, \(\frac{3193531}{6687316}\approx0.478\)

Answer:

\(0.478\)
