Assuming a two-candidate election, if a specific candidate receives at least 53% of the vote in the sample, you will project that candidate as the winner of the election.

Based on this sample, what is the probability that you will project candidate T as the winner (which may well be incorrect), if (unbeknownst to you) in the electorate as a whole, 46% will vote for candidate T?
