Suppose a bar graph displays the political party affiliation of poll respondents in November 2012 , with the following percentages: Democrats: , Republicans: , Independents: . Based on this graph, which percentage of poll respondents were Democrats in November 2012 ?
A
B
C
D
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Identify the data presented in the bar graph. The graph shows the percentage of poll respondents affiliated with each political party: Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
Step 2: Locate the percentage value corresponding to the Democrats on the graph. According to the problem, this value is given as 38%.
Step 3: Understand that the percentage represents the proportion of the total respondents who identified as Democrats in November 2012.
Step 4: Compare the given answer choices (50%, 30%, 32%) with the percentage shown for Democrats (38%) to determine which matches the graph data.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct percentage of poll respondents who were Democrats in November 2012 is the one directly indicated by the graph, which is 38%.
