Question

After a mayor announced his plans to cut budget costs in late 2011, the Forum Research polled 1,084 people to measure the mayor's popularity. Everyone polled expressed either approval or disapproval. These are the results their poll produced.

	In early 2011, 62 percent of the population approved of the mayor's actions in office.
	In mid-2011, 49 percent of the population approved of his actions.
•	In late 2011, the percentage of popular approval was measured at 39 percent.

(b) What proportion in the poll disapproved of the mayor, according to the results from late 2011? (Enter your answer to two decimal places.)

(c) How many people polled responded that they approved of the mayor in late 2011? (Round your answer up to the next whole number.)

(d) What is the probability that a person supported the mayor, based on the data collected in mid-2011? (Enter your answer to two decimal places.)

(e) What is the probability that a person supported the mayor, based on the data collected in early 2011? (Enter your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer 1

b) Since 39% approved, 100% - 39% = 61% disapproved. 61% = 0.61 proportion

c) 39% of 1084 approved = 0.39 * 1084 = 422.76 ~ 423

d) 49% supported, so probability is 0.49 that they supported the mayor.

e) 62% supported, so probability is 0.62 that they supported the mayor.
