Answer 1

a) What percent of the class is male?

Male = 50 + 44 + 21 = 115

Female = 35 + 36 + 6 = 77

Total = 115 + 77

= 192

%Male = (115 / 192 )*100

= 59.90 %

b) Conservatives = 6 + 21

= 27

% Conservatives = (27 /192)*100

= 14.06%

c) Males = 115

Conservative Males = 21

% Conservative Males = (21/115)*100

= 18.26%

d)

Conservative Males = 21

Total = 192

% Conservative Males = (21/192)*100

= 10.94%
