Answer:

Variance = 3.6 voteres

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of favour voters, P = 0.22

Total number of voters, n = 21

The probability of voters who are in not favour of new hospital construction = 1  - P

The probability of voters who are in not favour of new hospital construction = 1  - 0.22

The probability of voters who are in not favour of new hospital construction, P* = 0.78

Variance = n x p* x (1 - p*)

Variance = 21 x 0.78 x 0.22

Variance = 3.6 voters
