Question

A community organization surveyed 40 members to determine if they world vote yes or no for the proposition a in the next election

Twelve of the surveyed members said they would vote yes there are a total of 240 members in the community organization how many members are expected to vote yes

Answer 1

72 members

Explanation:

Total surveyed members = 40

members voting yes = 12

probability of the members voting yes = 12/40 = 3/10

It is observed that, out of every 'n' members, n*(3/10) members are expected to vote yes:

Therefore,

number of members expecting to voye yes out of 240 are = 240 * 3/10

=> 24 * 3 = 72 members
