Question 1:
To the best of your knowledge, the largest amount of funding for public libraries is provided by what source?
Looking at Question 1 percentages, the highest percentage is for "Do not know" ( $\(21.9\) %$ ), but among known sources:
- Local government: $\(20.7 \)%$
- State government: $\(20.1 \)%$
- Private donations: $\(18.7\) %$
- County government: $\(16.5\) %$
The largest known source, according to respondents, is Local government (\(20.7\)%).
Question 2:
In your opinion, the largest amount of funding should be provided by what source?
Looking at Question 2 percentages, the highest is:
- State government: $\(55.0\) %$
- Local government: $\(16.0\) %$
- Private donations: $\(9.0\) %$
- County government: $\(8.8 \)%$
The largest is State government (\(55.0\)%), according to opinions.
Probability calculation:
If one resident is randomly selected from 2,000 residents, what is the probability that the selected resident's response to Question 2 was either "Local government" or "Private donations"?
From Question 2:
- Local government: $\(16.0\) %$
- Private donations: $\(9.0 \)%$
Total percentage for either $\(=16.0\) %\(+9.0\) %\(=25.0\) %$
So, probability $\(=25 \)%\(=0.25=1 / 4\)$
Final answers:
- Question 1 largest funding source (known): Local government
- Question 2 largest funding source (should be): State government
- Probability for local gov or private donations (Q2): 1/4
Answer to probability question:
A. $\(\frac{1}{4}\)$
