An election is held among four candidates (A, B, C, and D). Using a voting method we will call X, the winner of the election is candidate A. Due to an irregularity in the original procedures, a new election is required. Before the new election takes place, one of the voters changes his mind and moves A from third choice to first choice on his ballot. All other voters vote the same way they did in the original election. In the new election, still using voting method X, candidate D wins the election. Based on this information, which criterion can say that voting method X violates? A) majority B) IIA C) monotonicity D) Condorcet

The marking on the ball will determine her answer to the question. There are 15 multiple-choice questions on the exam. What is the probability that she will get all 15 questions correct? at least 10 questions correct? no questions correct? no more than 5 questions correct?
