The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data
from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270
four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3% of those
students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples
should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you
randomly select freshman from the study until you find one who
replies "yes." You are interested in the number of freshmen you
must ask.
