A student organization at Penn State is voting to pass its budget. Susan has 6 votes as the President, Joe has 4 votes as the Vice-President, Carol has 2 votes as an assistant and Margo has 1 vote as a committee member. At least 8 of the 13 votes are needed to pass a resolution. How is the weighted voting system represented mathematically? Group of answer choices [8: 6, 2, 1, 1] [13: 8, 4, 3, 2, 1 ] [13: 6, 4, 2, 1] [8: 6, 4, 2, 1]

Leadership positions for a college social club are up for election. Three people are needed to fill the positions of president, vice president, and secretary. Only 10 members are willing to serve in these positions. Each candidate is eligible for each position, and a candidate can only hold one leadership position. How many different ways can the three positions be filled using the 10 possible candidates?
Green Red Orange Purple Yellow 3. Caitlyn and Tabitha want to fairly decide who will take the family dog on a walk, so they roll a fair six-sided die and spin the spinner above. Caitlyn will walk the dog if the die roll is a 1, 2, or 3 and the spinner lands on orange or green. Tabitha will walk the dog if the die roll is a 4 or 6 and the spinner lands on red, yellow, or purple. They will continue the experiment until one of the events occurs. Does the experiment provide a fair way to decide who walks the dog? Explain using probability.
Dr. Wagner is interested in conducting a 2 x 2 x 3 within-group factorial design, with 20 participants in each cell. How many participants does she need overall? a. 40 b. 240 c. 20 d. 80
To raise money for the local Veterans Affairs hospital, your friend organizes a fundraiser, inviting you to play a two-stage game where you pay $8 to play. The game works as follows: a fair 8-sided die is rolled, noting the number shown, and a spinner divided into 4 equal regions of different colors (blue, red, green, orange) is spun, noting the color. If the die shows 3 or the spinner shows orange, then you win $21. If the die shows an even number and the spinner does not show orange, then you win $9. Otherwise, you do not win anything. Let X be your net winnings. (a) Create a probability distribution for X. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. All probabilities should be exact. X P(X) (b) Compute your expected net winnings for the game. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ (c) Is this game fair? Yes No
2. Please answer all three parts of this question. 1. You are designing a 2x3 factorial design and need 20 participants in each of 6 conditions. How many participants in total would be needed for a 2x3 independent groups (between-subjects) design? How many participants in total would be needed for a 2x3 repeated-measure groups (within-subjects) design? How many participants in total would be needed for a 2x3 mixed factorial design?
Democratic and Republican presidential state primary elections differ in the way winning candidates are awarded delegates. In Republican states, the winner is awarded all the state's delegates; conversely, the Democratic state winner is awarded delegates in proportion to the percentage of votes. This difference led to an article on making your vote count. Consider scenario where you are one of five county commissioners voting on an issue, where each commissioner is equally likely to vote for or against. Complete parts and b below. a. Your vote (the decisive vote) counts only if the other four voters split, 2 in favor and 2 against. Use the binomial distribution to find the probability that your vote counts. The probability that your vote counts is 0.375. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. If you convince two other commissioners to "vote in bloc" (all agree to vote among yourselves first, and whatever the majority decides is the way all three will vote, guaranteeing that…

A father and his three children decide to hold a vote to select an after dinner activity. They will either see a play or a movie. If the majority of the family agrees on a preferred activity, then they will do that activity. If two family members vote to see a play and the other two family members vote to watch a movie, then (since the father will pay for the activity), the father's vote will be used to break the tie. (a) How many winning coalitions are there in this situation? (b) Find one of the children's Banzhaf power index.
