Question

Suppose that a recent poll found that 45​% of adults in a certain country believe that the overall state of moral values is poor. If a survey of a random sample of 55 adults in this country is conducted in which they are asked to disclose their feelings on the overall state of moral​ values

Answer 1

According to the poll, 45% of adults in the country believe that the state of moral values is poor. In case a survey asked about 55 random people on the subject, and in case the percentage thrown by the poll was fulfilled, about 24 or 25 people would think that the state of the moral values of the country is poor.

This is so because the 45% of 55, obtained from the following calculation (55 x 45/100) gives a total of 24.75.
