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 vote count, a recount is required. Before the recount takes place, candidate B drops out of the race. In the recount, still using voting method X, candidate D wins the election. Based on this information, which criterion can say that voting method X violates? A) IIA B) majority C) monotonicity D) Condorcet

From 35 candidates, 4 officers are elected. This is an example of ... A. Permutation because the order of which officer gets elected first, second, third, and last matters. B. Combination because the order of which officer gets elected first, second, third, and last does not matter. c. Combination because the order of which officer gets elected first, second, third, and last matters. d. Permutation because the order of which officer gets elected first, second, third, and last does not matter.
Suppose 101 people vote in an election between 4 candidates using a modified Borda count. In this modified count, last place votes count as 1 point, 3rd place votes count as 2 points, and 2nd place votes count as 3 points. If we make 1st place votes worth enough points, we can force this election to satisfy the majority criterion. What is the smallest number of points that we could assign to 1st place votes in order to guarantee that the majority criterion is satisfied?
In the US, primary elections are held to determine who will be the presidential candidate for a particular party. Two of the first states to hold primary elections for president are Iowa and New Hampshire. A candidate wishes to know if her popularity in these states is similar. She decides to conducts polls of random samples of voters to determine their voting preference. A recent poll of 825 voters in Iowa shows this candidate has 24% of the vote, while a different poll of 775 voters from New Hampshire shows this candidate has 20% of the vote in New Hampshire. Do these polls give strong evidence that the candidate’s share of the vote in these two states is different, at the α = 0.05 significance level? A. The test statistic is z = 1.93 and the P-value = 0.0538. Because 0.0538 > 0.05, there is not sufficient evidence that the candidate’s levels of support are different in the two states. B. The test statistic is z = 1.93 and the P-value = 0.0538. Because 0.0538 > 0.05,…
A candidate for one of Ohio’s two U.S. Senate seats wishes to compare her support among registered voters in the northern half of the state with her support among registered voters in the southern half of the state. A random sample of 2000 registered voters in the northern half of the state is selected, of which 1062 support the candidate. Additionally, a random sample of 2000 registered voters in the southern half of the state is selected, of which 900 support the candidate. A 99% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of registered voters that support this candidate between the northern and southern halves of the state is: Select one: 0.040 to 0.122. 0.055 to 0.107. 0.037 to 0.119. 0.035 to 0.127.
The U.S. Census Bureau conducts annual surveys to obtain information on the percentage of the voting-age population that is registered to vote. Suppose that 679679 employed persons and 690690 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that 429429 of the employed persons and 369369 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote. Can we conclude that the percentage of employed workers ( p1p1 ), who have registered to vote, exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers ( p2p2 ), who have registered to vote? Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Step 2 of 6 : Find the values of the two sample proportions, pˆ1p^1 and pˆ2p^2. Round your answers to three decimal places.
Two construction companies, Giant and Sky, bid for the right to build in a field. The possible bids are $ 10 Million, $ 20 Million, $ 30 Million, S 35 Million and S 40 Million. The winner is the company with the higher bid. The two companies decide that in the case of a tie (equal bids), Giant is the winner and will get the field. Giant has ordered a survey and, based on the report from the survey, 1 concludes that getting the field for more than $ 35 Million is as bad as not getting it (assume loss), except in case of a tie (assume win) Sky is not aware of this survey. (a) State reasons why/how this game can be described as a two-players zero-sum game [
In the upcoming election between two close candidates, a poll reports that Jonesleads Smith. For each of the following situations, how confident are you thatJones will win?a) Jones leads with 51% preference with a margin of error of +or-3%.b) Jones leads with 52% preference with a margin of error of +or-3%.c) Jones leads with 54% preference with a margin of error of +or-3%.
The U.S. Census Bureau conducts annual surveys to obtain information on the percentage of the voting-age population that is registered to vote. Suppose that 713 employed persons and 613 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected and that 338 of the employed persons and 244 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote. Can we conclude that the percentage of employed workers ( p1 ), who have registered to vote, exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers ( p2 ), who have registered to vote? Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Step 2 of 6 : Find the values of the two sample proportions, pˆ1p^1 and pˆ2p^2. Round your answers to three decimal places. Step 3 of 6 : Compute the weighted estimate of p, p‾p‾. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 6 : Compute the value of the test statistic.

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. However, candidate D has more than 50% of the possible votes. Based on this information, we can say that voting method X violates the O Condorcet criterion O monotonicity criterion. O independence of irrelevant alternatives criterion. O majority criterion.
