Number of people polled State Health Public State Education Police Service The Environment = 3,000 Service Transport Service Much Better 10% Better 12% 10% 11% Somewhat Better 23% 16% Stay The Same 27% 40% 34% 41% Somewhat Worse 16% 18% 12% Worse 10% 6% 13% Much Worse 5% 3% 17% Don't know 2% 1% 4% 2% 12% 10% Question 2 of 20 How many people total would expect the quality of the environment to be Worse in the following year if half of those who indicated 'Somewhat Worse' had instead indicated 'Worse'?

Answer 1

No. of people who voted for worse as quality of environment are 5%

No. of people who opted for somewhat worse are 18%

If half of these would have voted for worse , We would have 9% more voting for worse

So total people voting for worse would be 5+9 = 14%

Total people = 3000

14% of 3000 = ( 14 / 100 ) * 3000 = 420

Hence , No. of people = 420
