1. **State the problem:**
We want to estimate the number of adult residents who voted in the last city election based on survey data.
2. **Analyze the surveys:**
- Survey 1: 25 homeowners, 15 voted.
- Survey 2: 25 adult residents randomly selected, 11 voted.
- Survey 3: 25 senior residents, 13 voted.
3. **Choosing the best survey:**
The best survey should represent the entire adult population, not just a subgroup like homeowners or seniors.
4. **Calculate proportions of voters in each survey:**
- Survey 1: $\frac{15}{25} = 0.6$
- Survey 2: $\frac{11}{25} = 0.44$
- Survey 3: $\frac{13}{25} = 0.52$
5. **Conclusion for part (a):**
Survey 2 is the best because it randomly samples adult residents from the entire city, representing the whole population.
6. **Estimate number of voters in the city (part b):**
Use the proportion from Survey 2: $0.44$
7. **Calculate estimated voters:**
$$\text{Estimated voters} = 0.44 \times 22900 = 10076$$
**Final answer:**
(a) The survey of 25 adult residents randomly selected from the city.
(b) Estimated number of adults who voted: 10076
