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 |

- A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.arrow_forwardFind the (exact) direction cosines and (rounded to 1 decimal place) direction angles of = (3,7,6)arrow_forwardShade the areas givenarrow_forward
