Final answer:
Without specific data on the number of states that voted Democrat in both 1976 and 2012, we cannot calculate the exact conditional relative frequency. To find the conditional relative frequency, the number of states that voted Democrat in both elections would need to be divided by the number of states that voted Democrat in 1976 and then multiplied by 100%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The conditional relative frequency of a state's popular vote being won by the Democrat in 2012, given that it was won by the Democrat in 1976, can be obtained by comparing the two occurrences. To determine this, we would divide the number of states that voted Democrat in both 1976 and 2012 by the number of states that voted Democrat in 1976. However, without specific data on the numbers of states that voted Democrat in both years, we cannot calculate the exact percentage. To find the conditional relative frequency, we would have to use the formula:
Conditional Relative Frequency = (Number of Favorable Outcomes) / (Number of Given Outcomes)
Suppose there were x states that voted Democrat in both years and y states that voted Democrat in 1976, the conditional relative frequency would be calculated as
Conditional Relative Frequency = (x / y) x 100%
To give an accurate answer, data on the number of states that fall into both categories is required. If the data is provided, use the above formula to find the conditional relative frequency.
