A political pollster is conducting an analysis of sample results in order to make predictions on election night. Assuming a two-candidate election, if a specific candidate receives at least 53% of the vote in the sample, that candidate will be forecast as the winner of the election. You select a random sample of 100 voters. What is the probability that a candidate will be forecast as the winner when the population percentage of her vote is 58%?
