Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 69E
The Coombs method. This method is just like the plurality-with-elimination method except that in each round we eliminate the candidate with the largest number of last-place votes (instead of the one with the fewest first-place votes).
a. Find the winner of the Math Club election using the Coombs method.
b. Give an example that illustrates why the Coombs method violates the Condorcet criterion.
c. Give an example that illustrates why the Coombs method violates the monotonicity criterion.

- 4. In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions.a) Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuousb) Was this an observational study or an experimental study?
