Hi, isn't 
"Total voted \(= .45 *(.45)\)M \(+.47(.47)\)F "
the probability that a citizen voted in the election?
Since the probability = voted people/total population

In a country, 45% of male citizen and 47% of female citizen are eligible to vote. What is the probability that a citizen voted in the election?

(1) 45% of eligible male citizens voted.

(2) 47% of eligible female citizens voted.

(1) 45% of eligible male citizens voted.

We still do not know what percent or how many of the eligible females voted. Also we do not know total # of citizens.

INSUFF.

(2) 47% of eligible female citizens voted.

We still do not know what percent or how many of the eligible Males voted. Also we do not know total # of citizens.

INSUFF.

1+2

Total voted \(= .45 *(.45)\)M \(+.47(.47)\)F

However we still do not know total citizens.

INSUFF.

Ans E

Hope it's clear.

­What is the total population? Are you able to arrive at a single numeral using : Total voted/ Total population?

If No then the answer is E.­
