A telecommunication company proposed construction of a cell site tower in a certain city. To determine whether this is to be constructed, a vote is to be taken among the residents of a city and the surrounding barangays. Many residents in the barangays feel that the proposal will pass because of the large proportion of city voters who favor the construction. A poll is taken to determine if there is a significant difference in the proportion of city voters and barangay voters favoring the proposal. If 250 of 400 city voters favor the proposal and 360 of 500 barangay residents favor it, would you agree that the proportion of city voters favoring the proposal is higher than the proportion of barangay voters? Use a 0.025 level of significance.
A vote is to be taken among the residents of a town and the surrounding county to determine whether a proposed chemical plant should be constructed. The construction site is within the town limits, and for this reason many voters in the county believe that the proposal will pass because of the large proportion of town voters who favor the construction. To determine if there is a significant difference in the proportions of town voters and county voters favoring the proposal, a poll is taken. If 120 of 200 town voters favor the proposal and 240 of 500 county residents favor it, would you agree that the proportion of town voters favoring the proposal is higher than the proportion of county voters? Use an α = 0.05 level of significance.

By manipulating the quota, one can make the balance of power be whatever one wants. We’re going to work with this weighted voting system: [q: 5, 4, 3] Determine what to use for the quota to get the indicated BPI values. In each case, explain how you determined your answer by either writing a sentence or two to explain your thought process, or show the work to find the BPIs to prove that your quota actually works. 1) BPI(P1) = 33.33% BPI(P2) = 33.33% BPI(P3) = 33.33% [All players have equal power] 2) BPI(P1) = 60% BPI(P2) = 20% BPI(P3) = 20% 3) BPI(P1) = 50% BPI(P2) = 50% BPI(P3) = 0% [P3 is a dummy]arrow_forwardThe members of a club are going to elect a president from four nominees using the Borda count method.
