College

Suppose a survey was given to students at WCC, asking if they voted for the Democrat or Republican in the last election. The results are shown below:

| | Democrat | Republican |
|------------|----------|------------|
| Male | 50 | 75 |
| Female | 125 | 50 |

If a student from the survey is selected at random, what is the probability they voted for the Republican?

A. \(\frac{75}{50}\)

B. \(\frac{50}{75}\)

C. \(\frac{75}{300}\)

D. \(\frac{125}{300}\)

Answer :

Answer:

The table given provides the number of male and female students who voted for each party, but it does not give the total number of students in the survey. To find the probability of selecting a student who voted for the Republican party, we need to know the total number of students who participated in the survey.

The total number of students in the survey is:

50 + 75 + 125 + 50 = 300

The number of students who voted for the Republican party is:

75 + 50 = 125

Therefore, the probability of selecting a student who voted for the Republican party is:

125/300 = 0.4167 (rounded to four decimal places)

So, the answer is option D: 125/300
