A poll of 1500 people indicated that 3 out of 5 people were planning on voting in the next election.
------------------------------
Of the people who intend to vote 11 of 20 will vote Republican candidate. How many people in the poll will vote for the Republican candidate?
-----------
P(vote Repub | intend to vote)
= P(vote Rep AND intend to vote)/P(intend to vote}
------------
= (11/20)/(3/5) = 55/60 = 11/12

The number of people who will vote for the Republican candidate
= 1,500 * 3/5 * 11/20
= 495
