Could you please explain how you get these answers? I do not know what we should do with the right table? Also, how can I add radio buttons?

Re: Electoral returns for several states [#permalink]

For this particular question, I don't think you need the table on the right (electoral votes per state).
I'm not sure how accurate my explanation is but this is how I got the answers:

A. The median value of the popular vote for Clinton was less than the median value of the popular vote for Bush.
TRUE
Look at the values for the popular vote from highest to lowest (organize votes by state)
for Clinton - Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota
for Bush - Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, N Dakota, S Dakota
the median value for both candidates is within Nebraska, so compare the two and you can clearly see that (in Nebraska) the popular vote for Bush is much higher than Clinton's

B. The range of the popular vote for Bush was greater than the range of the popular vote for Clinton.
FALSE
Range = highest value - lowest value
for Bush --> 500,000 - 140,000 = 360,000
for Clinton --> 590,000 - 100,000 = 490,000

C. The percent of the popular vote received by Bush in each state was less than the percent received by Clinton in each state.
FALSE
This is only true in Iowa. In all other states, the percent of popular vote for Bush is higher

D. The popular vote received by Perot in each state was at least half of the popular vote received by Bush in each state.
TRUE
Just by comparing the gray bars (Bush) and white bars (Perot) for each state, you can see that each of the white bars is at least half of the gray bar

E. The least number of popular votes were recorded in South Dakota.
FALSE
The least number of popular votes was recorded in North Dakota (you can see that the black bar is lower in N. Dakota than in S. Dakota)
Hope this helps!
