Question

The result of a survey in which 1000 adults were asked whether they favored a law that would provide more government support for higher education. In addition, each person was asked whether he or she voted in the last election. Those who had voted were classified as 'likely to vote', and those who had not were classified as 'not likely to vote'.

Answer 1

Factors such as marital status, employment, length of residence in a neighborhood, social connectedness, income, and level of education all contribute to the likelihood of voting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Research on voting behavior has shown that people who are more settled or connected to society tend to vote more frequently. Factors such as marital status, employment, length of residence in a neighborhood, social connectedness, income, and level of education all contribute to the likelihood of voting. It suggests that politicians may focus more on the interests of married, employed, well-educated individuals with at least a middle-class income than on other groups. For example, those who vote may be more supportive of financial assistance for higher education than they are of medical care or public school education for families in need.
