Swing voters. A 2012 Pew Research survey asked 2,373 randomly sampled registered voters their political affiliation (Republican, Democrat, or Independent) and whether or not they identify as swing voters. 35% of respondents identified as Independent, 23% identified as swing voters, and 11% identified as both.⁵⁸

(b) Draw a Venn diagram summarizing the variables and their associated probabilities.

(c) What percent of voters are Independent but not swing voters?

(d) What percent of voters are Independent or swing voters?

(e) What percent of voters are neither Independent nor swing voters?

(f) Is the event that someone is a swing voter independent of the event that someone is a political Independent?
