Explanation of Solution
Given information: In a presidential election, the candidate who receives most popular votes in a state usually receives the state's electoral votes. In the 1996 election, about 96 million popular votes were cast and 538 electoral votes were cast.
The table shows the voting results from the election,
Calculation:
From part a.,
Percent of electoral votes for Clinton = 70.44%
Percent of electoral votes for Dole = 29.55%
The difference between Clinton and Dole with respect to electoral votes,
Percent of popular votes for Clinton = 48.96%
Percent of popular votes for Dole = 40.68%
The difference between Clinton and Dole with respect to popular votes,
Therefore, the difference between Clinton and Dole is high with the electoral votes.
Hence, the election was closer with respect to popular votes.

Remember that: A matrix is in row echelon form if Any row that consists only of zeros is at the bottom of the matrix. The first non-zero entry in each other row is 1. This entry is called aleading 1. The leading 1 of each row, after the first row, lies to the right of the leading 1 of the previous row.arrow_forward
