Question

An election poll predicts that, in one riding, 4 out of 7 voters will vote for a certain political party. There are 25 156 voters. If the prediction is true, how many voters will not vote for that political party?

Answer 1

Answer:

10,781 voters

Step-by-step explanation:

In election poll, if 4 out of 7 voters will vote for a certain political party, the total voters will be 7 and 3 out of 7 will not vote for the political party

If there are 25 156 voters, we are to find the number of voters that will not vote for that party. Hence the number of people that will not vote is expressed as;

= 3/7 * 25,156

= 75,468/7

= 10,781

Hence approximately 10,781 voters will not vote for the party.
