A researcher interviewed 411 randomly selected US residents and


asked about their views on the use of nuclear energy. The table
above summarizes the responses of the interviewees. If the
population of the United States was 300 million when the survey
was given, based on the sample data for the 411 US residents,
what is the best estimate, in millions, of the difference between
the number of US residents who somewhat favor or strongly favor
the use of nuclear energy and the number of those who
somewhat oppose or strongly oppose it? (Round your answer to
the nearest whole number.)
