Question
Voter turnout drops steadily as income level declines. The following table gives the percentage of eligible voters in a certain city, categorized by income, who responded with "did not vote" in the 2000 presidential election. The table also gives the number of eligible voters in the city, categorized by income.
Income (percentile) |
Percent Who "Did Not Vote" |
Eligible Voters | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
0–16 | 51 | 4,000 | ||
17–33 | 31 | 11,000 | ||
34–67 | 20 | 17,500 | ||
68–95 | 15 | 12,500 | ||
96–100 | 13 | 5,000 |
If an eligible voter from this city who had voted in the election is selected at random, what is the probability that this person had an income in the 17-33 percentile? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
