Bella Robinson and Steve Carson are running for a seat in the U.S. Senate. If both candidates campaign only in the major cities of the state, then Robinson is expected to get 70% of the votes; if both
candidates campaign in only rural areas, then Robinson is expected get 55% of the votes; if Robinson campaigns exclusively in the city and Carson campaigns exclusively in the rural areas, then
Robinson is expected to get 20% of the votes; finally, if Robinson campaigns exclusively in the rural areas and Carson campaigns exclusively in the city, then Robinson is expected to get 35% of the

- Your class gets to elect a representative for the school council. The two choices are Lizzy and Michael. Polling of the class shows that Polly is preferred by 53% to 47% over Michael. However, before the vote is held, a new choice for representative is put forth by a student: Rodney. Many of the students that prefer Polly, would rather have Rodney. The results of the vote are below. Michael 45% Polly Rodney 35% 17% What statement below is correct about adding a third choice to the plurality vote? Rodney did not win the vote, but it had no effect on drawing enough support away from Polly to make Michael the winner, even though a majority of students preferred Polly over Michael when there were two choices.

The two companies decide that in the case of a tie (equal bids), Red is the winner and will get the field. Company Red has ordered a geological survey and, based on the report from the survey, concludes that getting the field for more than $ 45 Million is as bad as not getting it (assume loss), except in case of a tie (assume win).
