Question

5. A newspaper in New York took a random sample of 500 registered voters from New York City and found that 300 favored a certain candidate for governor of the state.

A second newspaper polled 1,000 registered voters in upstate New York and found that 550 people favored this candidate. Explain how you would interpret the results.

Answer 1

Explanation:

In first voting 300 person favors the candidate out of 500

i.e.
`(300)/(500)=0.6`

60 % Population favor the candidate

For second voting 550 person favors the candidate out of 1000 candidates

i.e.
`(550)/(1000)=0.55`

55 % Population favors candidate

so according to voting, 1 st voting is favorable for candidate because a large population support him as compared to second voting.
