| Think
of a survey question that can be answered either “Yes
” or “No.”
Ask a group of people your survey question and record
the results for males and females. Find the
percentage of males and the percentage of females who
responded Yes. Then calculate the total percentage
of people who said Yes.
Does adding the percentages
of Yes votes by males and by females result in the total
percentage of people who said Yes? |

Suppose a motion passes with
a 52% vote. Find some possible ways to break
this into percentages for males and percentages for
females who voted Yes. Is
it possible that only males supported the motion? Only
females?
