Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Data Collection

The data collected from the study on views of capital punishment is as follows:

For men with persuasion:
- Support: $8$
- Oppose: $7$
For women with persuasion:
- Support: $4$
- Oppose: $6$

Step 2: Total Calculation

To find the total number of respondents questioned with persuasion, we sum the support and oppose counts for both genders:

\[ \text{Total with persuasion} = (8 + 7) + (4 + 6) = 25 \]

Step 3: Support Calculation

Next, we calculate the total number of respondents who support capital punishment with persuasion:

\[ \text{Total support with persuasion} = 8 + 4 = 12 \]

Step 4: Percentage Calculation

Now, we compute the percentage of those questioned with persuasion who support capital punishment:

\[ \text{Percentage support with persuasion} = \left( \frac{\text{Total support with persuasion}}{\text{Total with persuasion}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{12}{25} \right) \times 100 = 48.00\% \]
