The table shows the relative frequency of responses that were sent out by the campaign team.
The responses were compiled into a variety of two-way frequency tables for analysis by the campaign team, one of which is included below.
The table shows the relative frequency of responses that were sent out [...].
Question 1: What is the relative frequency of respondents that are aged 65+ and intend to vote for the candidate?
To calculate the relative frequency, we divide the number of respondents aged 65+ who intend to vote for the candidate by the total number of respondents in that age group.
Relative frequency = 79 / 165 = 0.48
Therefore, the relative frequency of respondents that are aged 65+ and intend to vote for the candidate is 48%.
Question 2: What is the relative frequency of respondents aged 25-34 that are undecided about voting for the candidate?
To calculate the relative frequency, we divide the number of respondents aged 25-34 who are undecided about voting for the candidate by the total number of respondents in that age group.
Relative frequency = 34 / 211 = 0.16
Therefore, the relative frequency of respondents aged 25-34 that are undecided about voting for the candidate is 16%.
Question 3: Should the candidate focus more of their campaign budget on advertisements to people in the 35-44 age bracket or the 45-54 age bracket? Explain your answer.
To answer this question, we need to compare the relative frequencies of those intending to vote ("Yes") in each age bracket.
Relative frequency of respondents aged 35-44 who intend to vote = 38%
Relative frequency of respondents aged 45-54 who intend to vote = 37%
Based on this comparison, the candidate should focus more of their campaign budget on advertisements to people in the 35-44 age bracket, as they are more likely to be undecided about voting for the candidate.
In addition, the 35-44 age bracket is a large and important demographic group. They are more likely to be employed and have families, and they are also more likely to vote. By targeting this age group with advertisements, the candidate can reach a large number of potential voters and increase their chances of winning the election.
