Answer:

The probability that a voter chosen at random is in the 18 to 20 years old age range is = 4.2/ 134.8= 0.0311572

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the probability by simply dividing the frequency of the ages range of 18-20 by the total frequency.

Ages Frequency

18 to 20 4.2

21 to 24 7.8

25 to 34 20.8

35 to 44 23.7

45 to 64 50.1

65 and over 28.2

∑ 134.8

The probability of an event is given by the occurrence of an event by the total occurrences .

So

Here the occurrence of ages 18-20 is given by 4.2

and the total frequency is 134.8

The probability that a voter chosen at random is in the 18 to 20 years old age range is = 4.2/ 134.8= 0.0311572
