Areview of voter registration in a small rural town revealed the following: male female total democrat 600 600 1,200 republican 500 300 800 other 122 100 222 total 1,222 1,000 2,222 refer to the table above. what is the probability that a randomly chosen male voter is a registered democrat? round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. type a numerical answer in the space provided. do not include % or spaces in your answer.

The probability is:

49.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The table that represents the review of voter registration in a small town is given by:

                              Male     Female        TOTAL

DEMOCRAT        600           600          1,200  

REPUBLICAN      500           300           800  

OTHER                 122            100            222  

TOTAL               1,222          1,000        2,222

We are asked to find the probability that a randomly chosen male voter is a registered Democrat.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

Let A= the person chosen is a male.

B=The person chosen is a democrat.

A∩B= The person chosen is a male democrat.

Hence we are asked to find :

P(B|A)

( That is we are asked to find the conditional probability)

The total number of people that are male=1222

Number of male that are democrat as well=600

Total number of people=2222

We know that:

Hence, the probability is calculated as:

and,

Hence,

Hence, the probability in percent to the nearest tenth is:

49.1%
