Answer:
[tex]\frac{17}{64}\approx 0.27[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a table to voters and their ages. We are asked to find the probability that a voter is younger than 45.
Voting age Voters
17-29 9
30-44 8
45-64 32
65+ 15
We can see from our given table that age of 17 (9+8) voters is between 17 to 44 years.
To find the probability that a voter is younger than 45, we will divide 17 by total number of voters.
[tex]\text{Total voters}=9+8+32+15=64[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability that a voter is younger than 45}=\frac{17}{64}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability that a voter is younger than 45}=0.265625[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability that a voter is younger than 45}\approx 0.27[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that a voter is younger than 45 is 0.27.
