Edison research gathered exit poll results from several sources for the wisconsin recall election of scott walker. they found that 56% of the respondents voted in favor of scott walker. additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for scott walker, 36% had a college degree, while 43% of those who voted against scott walker had a college degree. suppose we randomly sampled a person who participated in the exit poll and found that he had a college degree. what is the probability that he voted in favor of scott walker?

Our required probability is 0.515.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that the respondents voted in favor of Scot Walker P(F) = 56%

Probability that the respondent voted in not favor of Scot Walker = 100-56 = P(F')=44%

Probability of those who did vote in favor had a college degree = 36% = P(C|F)

Probability of those who did vote against had a college degree = 44% = P(C|F')

So, we will use "Conditional Probability":

probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker given that they had a college degree is given by

Hence, our required probability is 0.515.
