To determine the percentage of males polled that supported Wilson, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the relative frequency of males supporting Wilson:
From the given table, it is stated that the relative frequency of males supporting Wilson is 0.18.
2. Identify the total relative frequency of males polled:
From the table, the total relative frequency of all males polled is given as 0.46.
3. Calculate the percentage of males supporting Wilson:
The formula to calculate the percentage is:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Relative frequency of males supporting Wilson}}{\text{Total relative frequency of males}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
Substituting the values from the table:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{0.18}{0.46} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
4. Perform the division and multiplication:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \frac{0.18}{0.46} \approx 0.3913043478
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} \approx 0.3913043478 \times 100 \approx 39.13043478260869 \%
\][/tex]
5. Interpret the result:
Rounding this value, we get approximately [tex]\(39\%\)[/tex].
Thus, the percentage of males polled that supported Wilson is approximately [tex]\(39\%\)[/tex]. Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. About [tex]$39 \%$[/tex]
