Question

A poll organization frequently conducts polls asking the question "In general do you feel that the laws covering the sale of firearms should be made more strict, less strict, or kept as they are now?" At one point in time, 58% of those surveyed said "more strict." Shortly after a gun-related tragedy, 64% of those surveyed said "more strict." Use this information to complete parts a through d below. Assume that both polls used samples of 550 people. Determine the number of people in the sample that said "more strict" in the first survey and in the second survey. There were people who said "more strict" in the first survey. There were people who said "more strict" in the second survey. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

1) First survey , 58% said "more strict"

so, 550*58% = 550*0.58 = 319 people

2) Second survey , 64% said "more strict"

so, 550*64% = 550*0.64 = 352 people
