Answer 1

The surveyors are really interested in all registered boters in Huntsville, therefore the first answer is F.

Since they are only doing a sample of people with phones the real population is all registered voters with telephones, therefore the second answer is C.

The sample for this survey is the 550 voter surveyed.

To find the proportion of people who said they vote for brown we divide the number of this people by the total of people surveyed:

`(243)/(550)=0.4418`

Therefore the proportion was 0.4418
