In Example 5, we analyzed the voting power of the law partners in the firm of Krook, Cheatum, and Associates. Recall that to change a policy required the votes of Krook, Cheatum, and two associates. For each scenario described in Exercises 43-46, do the following:
a. Give an intuitive explanation as to how you think the voting power of Krook, Cheatum, and each associate is changed.
b. Calculate the Banzhaf power index for each member of the firm to see how this calculation corresponds to your intuition.
A law firm. One of the original associates, named Howe, is promoted to senior partner. The firm now has three senior partners and three associates. Assume that two senior partners and two associates must vote to change a policy.

- Evaluate the line integral sin z dz, So sin where C is the portion of the curve y = x² from 0 to −1 + i.arrow_forwardLet f(z) be complex differentiable everywhere in C. Fix two distinct complex numbers a and b and a circle C of radius R with |a| < R,|b| < R traversed in the counter-clockwise direction. Evaluate the integral Sc − f(z)dz (z - a)(z – b) in terms of a, b and the values of f at those points.arrow_forward| Let C be a circle (with a positive radius) such that z = 1 lies in its interior. Evaluate the contour integral So Tz zez (z - 1)³ = where C is traversed in the clockwise direction. dzarrow_forward
- question 8arrow_forwardTwo construction companies are bidding against one another for the right to construct a new community center building. The first construction company, Fine Line Homes, believes that its competitor, Buffalo Valley Construction, will place a bid for this project according to the distribution shown in this table: Buffalo Valley's Bid Bid Probability $160,000 0.2 $165,000 0.5 $170,000 0.2 $175,000 0.1 Furthermore, Fine Line Homes estimates that it will cost $160,000 for its own company to construct this building. Given its fine reputation and long-standing service within the local community, Fine Line Homes believes that it will likely be awarded the project in the event that it and Buffalo Valley Construction submit exactly the same bids. Find the bid that maximizes Fine Line’s expected profit. Max expected profit $ ________ . Bid that maximizes profit $ ________ .arrow_forwardFind the area of the surface obtained by rotating the circle x² + y² = r² about the line y = r.arrow_forward

The last digits of those heights are listed below. Construct a frequency distribution with 10 classes. Based on the distribution, do the heights appear to be reported or actually measured? Does there appear to be a gap in the frequencies and, if so, how might that gap be explained?
