Question

16. In a country, 60% of the male citizens and 70% of the female citizens are eligible to vote. 70% of the male citizens eligible to vote voted, and 60% of female citizens eligible to voted. What fraction of the citizens voted during the election? (a) 0.49 (b) 0.42 (c) 0.48 (d) 0.54

Answer 1

0.42 fraction of the citizens voted during the election

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of males and females be 50

Eligible male voters = 50 * 0.6(60%) = 30

Eligible female voters = 50 * 0.7(70%) = 35

Then, No. of eligible voters would be:-

Male = 30 * 0.7(70%) = 21

Females = 35 * 0.6(60%) = 21

Total voters who voted = 21 + 21

                                       = 42

Total citizens = 50 + 50

                      = 100

Fraction required = 42/100

                             = 0.42
