Question

Transcribed Image Text:In a survey of 1390 people, 1034 people said they voted in a recent presidential election. Voting records show that 72% of eligible voters actually did vote. Given that
72% of eligible voters actually did vote, (a) find the probability that among 1390 randomly selected voters, at least 1034 actually did vote. (b) What do the results from
part (a) suggest?
(a) P(X2 1034) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(b) What does the result from part (a) suggest?
O A. People are being honest because the probability of P(x2 1034) is at least 1%.
O B. People are being honest because the probability of P(x 2 1034) is less than 5%.
OC. Some people are being less than honest because P(x2 1034) is less than 5%.
O D. Some people are being less than honest because P(x2 1034) is at least 1%.
