The confidence interval for this problem can be calculated using the following formula:

Confidence Interval = p ± z*√(p*(1-p)/n)

Where:

p = observed proportion (54%)

n = sample size (80)

z = z-score (1.96)

Confidence Interval = 0.54 ± 1.96*√(0.54*(1-0.54)/80)

Confidence Interval = 0.54 ± 0.07

Therefore, the confidence interval is 0.47 - 0.61, meaning that we can be 95% confident that the percentage of voters who prefer the referred candidate is between 47% and 61%.

What vote counting system does Virginia legislature use?

The Virginia legislature utilizes a system known as "Ranked Choice Voting" for certain elections, particularly local offices. This system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, ensuring that if no candidate receives an outright majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed based on the voters' next preferences. This process continues until a candidate achieves a majority. However, for most elections, Virginia uses a traditional plurality voting system.
