The probability that at most 3 out of 10 randomly selected potential voters favor the construction of a new dog pound, given that 1000 out of 4000 voters oppose it, is calculated using the binomial probability formula. With a success probability of 0.25 (since 1000 oppose out of 4000 total), the cumulative probability for 0, 1, 2, or 3 supporters can be computed. The final result indicates the likelihood of this scenario occurring, providing a clear statistical insight into voter sentiment.
