Chapter 10.CT, Problem 1CT
What is the Alabama paradox?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Explain:
The meaning of the Alabama Paradox.
Answer to Problem 1CT
Solution:
When a state or party loses a seat due to an increase in the number of seats in the legislature, then this is known as the Alabama paradox. This situation is referred to as the Alabama paradox, because it first occurred when Alabama lost a representative with an increase in the number of House members from 299 to 300. Another important point is that no state had a change in population. Alabama which had 8 representatives in a 299-member house was left with only 7 representatives in a 300-member house.

Q1. A group of five applicants for a pair of identical jobs consists of three men and two
women. The employer is to select two of the five applicants for the jobs. Let S
denote the set of all possible outcomes for the employer's selection. Let A denote
the subset of outcomes corresponding to the selection of two men and B the subset
corresponding to the selection of at least one woman. List the outcomes in A, B,
AUB, AN B, and An B. (Denote the different men and women by M₁, M2, M3
and W₁, W2, respectively.)
