Question

5. A newspaper in New York took a random sample of 500 registered voters from New York City and found that 300 favored a certain candidate for governor of the state.
A second newspaper polled 1,000 registered voters in upstate New York and found that 550 people favored this candidate. Explain how you would interpret the results.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In first voting 300 person favors the candidate out of 500

i.e. $\frac{300}{500}=0.6$

60 % Population favor the candidate

For second voting 550 person favors the candidate out of 1000 candidates

i.e. $\frac{550}{1000}=0.55$

55 % Population favors candidate

so according to voting, 1 st voting is favorable for candidate because a large population support him as compared to second voting.
