A Pew Research survey asked 2,373 randomly sampled registered voters their political affiliation (Republican, Democrat, or Independent) and whether or not they identify as swing voters. 35% of respondents identified as Independent, 23% identified as swing voters, and 11% identified as both.
- Are being Independent and being a swing voter disjoint, i.e. mutually exclusive?
- Draw a Venn or create a table summarizing the variables and their associated probabilities. Which is easier to input? Which is easier to understand?
- What percent of voters are Independent but not swing voters? How many voters are in this category?
- What percent of voters are Independent or swing voters?
- What percent of voters are neither Independent nor swing voters?
- Is the event that someone is a swing voter independent of the event that someone is a political Independent?
