Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The range likely to contain the number of voters who expected the Republican ticket to win is calculated using the percentage (64%) and the margin of error (3 percentage points) applied to the total number of registered voters (28,000). Thus, the range is from 61% to 67% of 28,000 voters, which calculates to 17,080 (61% of 28,000) to 18,760 (67% of 28,000).
