Your class gets to elect a representative for the school council. The two choices are Lizzy and Michael. Polling of the class shows that Polly is preferred by 53% to 47% over Michael. However, before the vote is held, a new choice for representative is put forth by a student: Rodney. Many of the students that prefer Polly, would rather have Rodney. The results of the vote are below. Michael 45% Polly Rodney 35% 17% What statement below is correct about adding a third choice to the plurality vote? Rodney did not win the vote, but it had no effect on drawing enough support away from Polly to make Michael the winner, even though a majority of students preferred Polly over Michael when there were two choices.

We are in the middle of the election season with some states still having their state elections and voting for the Democratic nominee. However, since Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race, Joe Biden has become the presumptive Democratic nominee who will run against Donald Trump for the presidency in November. A recent poll from a national university was conducted by telephone with 754 registered voters from March 18 to 22, 2020. One of the questions they asked was: If the election for President was today, would you vote for … Donald Trump the Republican or Joe Biden the Democrat? [NAMES WERE ROTATED] [If UNDECIDED: If you had to vote for one of the following candidates at this moment, who do you lean toward – Donald Trump or Joe Biden?] Create confidence intervals for the percentage of registered voters who will vote for Biden and for Trump, respectively. You should have two separate confidence intervals, one for each of them. A news report citing this poll…
A contest contains two multiple choice questions. Question 1 has 4 possible answer choices with only one correct and question 2 has 5 possible choices with only one correct. Assume that questions one and two are independent of each other and that a correctly answered question receives a score of 1, else a zero (that means the best score foran individual is a 2). To win a prize, two people must enter the contest and their total score will determine their winnings. Now, two friends, call them Pete and Susan, take the contest questions and answer them independently. Let X be the total number of points awarded to them.(a) What is the probability mass function (pmf) of X?(b) What is the expected value of X?(c) What is the probability that X is no more than 2?

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 [

frq styled reponse please 1. Because of the constantly evolving political climate around the United States, Gallup (who regularly conducts polls in the U.S.) conducted a poll just after the inauguration asking U.S. adults if they approve of the initiatives President Biden had implemented in his first few days in office. Another Gallup poll was conducted now that President Biden has been in office for a month asking U.S. adults if they approve of the initiatives President Biden had implemented after his first month in office. According to the first Gallup poll of 1500 randomly selected U.S. adults, 64% approved of the initiatives President Biden had implemented in his first few days in office. And according to the second Gallop poll of 1700 U.S. adults, 54% approved of the initiatives President Biden had implemented after his first month in office. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the change (difference) in the true proportion of U.S. adults who approved of the…

Customers select the merchandise they want to purchase, then at the cash register they spin a wheel to determine the size of the discount they will receive. The wheel is divided into 12 regions, like a clock. Six of those regions are red, and award a 10% discount. The three white regions award a 20% discount and two blue regions a 40% discount. The remaining region is gold, and a customer whose lucky spin lands there gets a 100% discount - the merchandise is free! Determine each of the probabilities.
