The probability that the next voter does not agree to the new amendment is 0.2584 or 316/1223

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to calculate the number of voters who did not accept the amendment

For this we have to subtract the number of voters who accepted the new amendment from the total number of voters

1223 - 907 = 316

To calculate the probability that someone will not vote in favor of the amendment we simply have to divide the number of negative votes by the number of total votes

316 / 1223 = 0.2584

The probability that the next voter does not agree to the new amendment is 0.2584
