A preference table to show the results of the election from the data given below –
The
ABCD, BDCA, CBDA, ABCD, CBDA, ABCD, BDCA, BDCA, CBAD, CBAD, ABCD, CBDA
Answer to Problem 1RE
Solution:
The preference table is shown below:
Number of candidates voted | ||||
First choice | A | C | B | C |
Second choice | B | B | D | B |
Third choice | C | D | C | A |
Fourth choice | D | A | A | D |
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The
ABCD, BDCA, CBDA, ABCD, CBDA, ABCD, BDCA, BDCA, CBAD, CBAD, ABCD, CBDA
Construct the table for the given poll.
First, write the same order preferences once as shown below:
ABCD occurs four times.
CBDA occurs three times.
BDCA occurs three times.
CBAD occurs two times.
Now, construct a preference table with five columns and five rows:
Number of candidates voted | ||||
First choice | A | C | B | C |
Second choice | B | B | D | B |
Third choice | C | D | C | A |
Fourth choice | D | A | A | D |

- Pollution from a factory is entering a lake. The rate of concentration of the pollutant at time t is 5 given by P'(t) = 126t², where t is the number of years since the factory started introducing pollutants into the lake. Ecologists estimate that the lake can accept a total level of pollution of 600 units before all the fish life in the lake ends. Can the factory operate for 2 years without killing all the fish in the lake? Set up the integral that would determine the pollution level after 2 years. 2 5 126t 2 dt Can the factory operate for 2 years without killing all the fish in the lake? Thee factory can operate for 2 years without killing all the fish in the lake because the value of the integral is , which is less than 600.
