The mayor of a small city has proposed that a gambling casino be built in the downtown area, arguing that the construction project, resulting jobs, and tax revenue will boost the local economy. A total of 183 residents attend a public hearing on the proposal and a show of hands finds only 31 in favor of the casino. What does this vote tell the city council about public support for the project?

Respuesta :

This shows that only 31 out of 183 are in favor of the casino.
In other terms: 31/183 = 0.169 or only 17% are favoring the project against 83% . Enough information to show no public support for the casino project
