The portion of a population is simply a fraction of the population.
The required parameters are missing.
So, I will solve this question using the following parameters
- Population = 600
- Eligible voters over the age of 24 = 400
So, the portion of the population that are eligible voters over the age of 24 is calculated by dividing the number of eligible voters over the age of 24 by the overall population.
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{Portion= \frac{400}{600}}[/tex]
Simplify the fraction
[tex]\mathbf{Portion= \frac{2}{3}}[/tex]
2/3 means two-third
Hence, the portion of the population that are eligible voters over the age of 24 is two-thirds
