In a recent senatorial election, 59% of the voters in a certain district were registered as Democrats, 38% were registered as Republicans, and 3% were registered as Independents. The incumbent Democratic senator was reelected over her Republican and Independent opponents. Exit polls indicated that she gained 82% of the Democratic vote, 27% of the Republican vote, and 33% of the Independent vote.

In a certain presidential election, Alaska's 40 election districts averaged 1,958.8 votes per district for a candidate. The standard deviation was 572.5. (There are only 40 election districts in Alaska.) The distribution of the votes per district for one candidate was bell-shaped. Let X = number of votes for this candidate for an election district Parta State the approximate distribution of X. (Enter your numerical values to one decimal place) X-NO Parth Is 1,9588 a population mean or a sample...
In the last election, a state representative received 52% of the votes cast. One year after the election, the representative organized a survey that asked a random sample of 300 people whether they would vote for him in the next election. If we assume that his popularity has not changed, what is the probability that more than half of the sample would vote for him?

7. Suppose that after the 2020 presidential election there are three races that are too close to call: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In order to become president, a candidate must receive 270 electoral votes or more. Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes, Michigan has 16, and Pennsylvania has 20. Suppose that in the other decided races, Democrats have 259 electoral votes and Republicans have 233. The Democrat has an 80% chance of winning Wisconsin, a 50% chance of winning Michigan, and...
In the last election, a state representative received 20 % of the votes cast. One year after the election, the representative organized a survey that asked a random sample of 100 people whether they would vote for him in the next election. If we assume that his popularity has not changed, what is the probability that more than 19% of the sample would vote for him? (Find the nearest answer) For the simplicity of algebra, use the following approximations if...
1 In the November 2016 election, Donald Trump received 49% of the votes cast in Florida (Hillary Clinton received 47%). Many news organizations conduct surveys before elections to try to predict the winner. Suppose a survey was conducted in Florida shortly before the election such that we can assume that the true proportion of the population who planned to vote for Trump was 49%. The pollsters surveyed 600 likely voters and found that 283 of them planned to vote for...
