A voter polling research group determined that 41% of the voters in a country would vote for the democratic candidate with a +4% margin of error. If they anticipate only12,000 people will turn out to vote in the election, which would represent the possible number of voters for the democratic candidate.A.480 to 960 votersB.4440 to 5400 votersC.4680 to 5160 votersD.4916 to 4924 voters

Answer 1

Answer:

$4440\text{ to 5400 voters}$

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to get 41% of the anticipated total

Mathematically, we have this as

$\frac{41}{100}\times12000\text{ = 4920}$

Now, we calculate the number for the error margin

That would be 4% of the anticipated total

We have this as:

$\frac{4}{100}\times12000\text{ = 480}$

Now, we add this to the fisrt number and also subtract

We have this as:

(4920-480) to (4920 + 480) = 4440 to 5400 voters
