Given:

sample: 2330

devote more city funds to repair roads: 865

865/2330 = 0.37

0.37 x 100% = 37%

2330 represents the population. It is a sample of the population. Whatever percentage that can be derived from the survey will infer to what the population will choose.

To the nearest percent, the good estimate of the percentage of all residents who thought this is 37%
