    a) percentage of respondents that favored neither Obama nor Romney in terms of likeability = 7%

    b) For a given survey of 500, the number of respondents that favored Obama than Romney is 145.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that none of those surveyed can favour the two candidates at the same time,

    n (Universal set) = n (U) = 100%

    n (Obama) = n (O) = 61%

    n (Romney) = n (R) = 32%

    n (That favour Obama and Romney) = n (O n R) = 0%

    To calculate for the number that favour neither of the candidates

    n (O' n R')

    n (U) = n (O) + n (R) + n (O n R) + n (O' n R')

    100 = 61 + 32 + 0 + n (O' n R')

    n (O' n R') = 100 - 93 = 7%

    b) For a given survey of 500, how many more respondents favored Obama than Romney?

    Number of those surveyed that favour Obama = 61% of 500 = 305

    Number of those surveyed that favour Romney = 32% of 500 = 160

    Difference = 305 - 160 = 145
