Answer 1

Democrats voters	39.1%
Republicans voters	60.9%
Democrats voted	30.8%
Republicans voted	39.6%

a.

If a citizen who voted in the last election is randomly selected, what is the probability that they are a Republican?

39.6% - 30.8% = 8.8%

probability that they are a Republican = 0.088

b.

If a citizen who is a Democrat is randomly selected, what is the probability that they did not vote in the last election?

39.1% + 30.8% = 69.9%

probability that Democrat did not vote in the last election = 0.699
