Answer to Problem 7E
Based on these two surveys, it is predicted that senate will vote to override the veto.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Number of votes to override Veto | Percent of votes to override Veto | |
7 | 6 | 85.7% |
22 | 16 | 72.7% |
28 | 21 | 75% |
31 | 17 | 54.8% |
49 | 27 | 55.1% |
Calculation:
From the question statement it is clear that the Senate needs two-third majority that is 66.7% votes to override the veto.
The first two surveys show that more than 66.7% votes which are enough to override the veto. So, based on these two surveys, it is predictedthat senate will vote to override the veto.
Conclusion:
Therefore, based on these two surveys, it is predictedthat senate will vote to override the veto.
(b)
To explain: whether the Senate will vote to override the veto or not
(b)
