Figure 1-8
To find:
The preference schedule for the election with given preference ballots.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The preference schedule for the preference ballots for 21 voters and 5 candidates is,
Number of Voters | 5 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
1st Choice | A | C | A | B | D | D |
2nd Choice | B | E | D | E | C | C |
3rd Choice | C | D | B | A | B | B |
4th Choice | D | A | C | C | E | A |
5th Choice | E | B | E | D | A | E |
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The preference ballots for 21 voters and 5 candidates are given as,
Calculation:
The ballots of the same preferences are grouped together as,
The preference schedule table for the above ballots is given by,
Number of Voters | 5 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
1st Choice | A | C | A | B | D | D |
2nd Choice | B | E | D | E | C | C |
3rd Choice | C | D | B | A | B | B |
4th Choice | D | A | C | C | E | A |
5th Choice | E | B | E | D | A | E |
Conclusion:
The preference schedule for the preference ballots for 21 voters and 5 candidates is,
Number of Voters | 5 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
1st Choice | A | C | A | B | D | D |
2nd Choice | B | E | D | E | C | C |
3rd Choice | C | D | B | A | B | B |
4th Choice | D | A | C | C | E | A |
5th Choice | E | B | E | D | A | E |

- Reconsider the patient satisfaction data in Table 1. Fit a multiple regression model using both patient age and severity as the regressors. (a) Test for significance of regression. (b) Test for the individual contribution of the two regressors. Are both regressor variables needed in the model? (c) Has adding severity to the model improved the quality of the model fit? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe output voltage of a power supply is assumed to be normally distributed. Sixteen observations taken at random on voltage are as follows: 10.35, 9.30, 10.00, 9.96, 11.65, 12.00, 11.25, 9.58, 11.54, 9.95, 10.28, 8.37, 10.44, 9.25, 9.38, and 10.85. (a) Test the hypothesis that the mean voltage equals 12 V against a two-sided alternative using a = 0.05. (b) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on μ. (c) Test the hypothesis that σ² = 11 using α = 0.05. (d) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on σ. (e) Construct a 95% upper confidence interval on σ. (f) Does the assumption of normality seem reasonable for the output voltage?arrow_forwardAnalyze the residuals from the regression model on the patient satisfaction data from Exercise 3.
