use this information to answer the questions below.

candidate a 40%
candidate b 30%
candidate c 25%
candidate d 5%

if you choose a voter at random, is it likely that you will choose someone who voted for candidate a?
it ▼ likely that you will choose a person who voted for candidate a.
it is most likely that you will choose a person who voted for ▼.
the probability that you choose a person who voted for candidate a is ▼%, but the probability that you choose a person
who voted for somebody else is ▼%.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Probability Concept

Probability of an event = (Number of favorable outcomes)/(Total number of outcomes). Here, assume total number of voters is \(100\) (since percentages are given). Number of voters for candidate A is \(40\) (if total is \(100\)).

Step2: Calculate Probability

Probability \(P=\frac{40}{100} = 0.4\) or \(40\%\)

Answer:

\(40\)
