Solution

- 40% of peole would vote for the mMath teacher out f the 750 people. This implies that the number of people tahat would vote for him is

[tex]\begin{gathered} 40\%\times750 \\ \frac{40}{100}\times750=300\text{ people} \end{gathered}[/tex]

- We are also told that there is a margin of error of 4%. This implies that the number of people that vote for the math teacher is either 4% more or 4% less than the 300 people

- 4% margin of error can be gotten as follows:

[tex]\frac{4}{100}\times750=30[/tex]

- Thus, the number of people that vote for him is 300 give or take 30 people
