Residents of three counties were polled to find the percentage of residents who are Republican or Democrat. A 4-column table with 4 rows. The first column has no label with entries county 1, county 2, county 3, total. The second column is labeled Democrat with entries 4,050; 3,925; 2,100; 10,075. The third column is labeled Republican with entries 2,470; 6,010; 5,950; 14,430. The fourth column is labeled total with entries 6,520; 9,935; 8,050; 24,505. Find the following relative frequencies to the nearest tenth of a percent. Republican residents of County 1: % Democratic residents of County 1: % Total Republican residents: % Total Democratic residents: %

Answer :

Using the concept of relative frequency, it is found that:

  • Republican residents of County 1: 37.9%.
  • Democratic residents of County 1: 62.1%.
  • Total Republican residents: 58.9%.
  • Total Democratic residents: 41.1%.

A relative frequency is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

To find it as a percentage, we multiply by 100%.

The table used is the image at the end.

----------------------------------

County 1 has 6,520 residents, out of which 2,470 are Republican.

2470*100%/6520 = 37.9%

Thus:

Republican residents of County 1: 37.9%.

County 1 has 6,520 residents, out of which 4,050 are Democratic.

4050*100%/6520 = 62.1%

Thus:

Democratic residents of County 1: 62.1%.

----------------------------------

Total of 24,505 Residents, 10,075 Democrats and 14,430 Republicans.

10075*100%/24505 = 41.1%
