Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total opposed

Add up the number of people opposed in each political - affiliation group. $43 + 24+21=88$

Step2: Calculate relative frequency of Republicans among opposed

The number of Republicans opposed is 24. Divide the number of Republicans opposed by the total number of people opposed. $\frac{24}{88}\approx0.27$

Answer:

$0.27$
