Use the data given in the table below to compute the probability that a randomly chosen voter from the survey will satisfy the following. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)
The voter is a Republican.
Age Republican Democrat Independent Other Total
18–28 205.... 432.... 98 .... 112 847
29–38 311.... 301.... 109.... 83 804
39–49 250.... 251.... 150.... 122 773
>=50 272.... 283.... 142.... 107 804
Total 1038... 1267... 499.... 424 3228
-------------
P(voter is Republican) = 1038/3228 = 173/538 = 0.3216
