Voting problem social choice math?
An election with 4 candidates (A, B, C, and D) and 158 voters is to be decided using the plurality method. After 120 ballots have been recorded, A has 26 votes, B has 18 votes, C has 42 votes, and D has 34 votes. What is the smallest number of the remaining votes that C must receive to guarantee a win (without a tie) for C? Answer
Can someone help me with one math problem, please.?
OK ............Board Member............. Motion1.....Motion2........Motion3 .Y..N..A......Y..N..A.........Y..N..A There are 27 possible types of votes that any one board member may make. (Points in the sample space) Tree diagram above c. 1/3*1/3* 1/3 = 1/27 d. 8/27 ......Y, Y, Y ......Y, Y, N ......Y, Y, A ...... Y, N, Y .......Y, A, Y .......N. Y, Y ......A,Y, Y e. 12/27 (you can figure out how) Hope that helps.
Can someone please help me with this percentage problem?
The vote count for candidate A was 7,310. The vote count for candidate B was 14,190. Only two candidates were running. What percent of voters voted for candidate A?
Please help me to set up math problem?
Please help me to just set up the problem, than I can solve it. In the last election candidate b received twice as many votes as candidate a. Candidate c received 5,000 fewer votes than candidate a. If a total of 109,000 votes were cast how many votes did candidate b receive.
Can you help me with these math word problem for ratios?
Each of these can be written as a fraction (fractions and ratios are both division) In each of these, the total becomes the denominator, while the numerator is the portion you actually have. So for problem #1: 210 people voted out of 1,260 possible voters total. Therefore 210/1260 [Reduce to lowest terms by canceling out 210 from both the numerator and denominator] 210/1260 = 1/6 For problem #2: 48 favored fluoride 60 dentists total 48 dentists out of 60 total favor fluoride toothpaste. = 48/60 = 4/5 [Cancel out the 12s from the numerator and denominator] You should be able to do the rest.
Can some please QUICK help me with this math problem?
Hi, Jose's speed is 20 km/hr and Aldo's speed is 24 km/hr. Let 5x = Jose's speed and 6x = Aldo's speed To get this, realize rate x time = distance. Jose's distance = Aldo's distance + 2 Jose's rate x time = Aldo's distance + 2 km 5x(½) = 6x(⅓) + 2 5/2x = 2x + 2 ½x = 2 x = 4 If x = 4, then 5x = 5(4) = 20 km/hr for Jose's speed If x = 4, then 6x = 6(4) = 24 km/hr for Aldo's speed I hope that helps!! :-)
What is the ballot problem in mathematics?
More specifically known as “Bertrand’s ballot problem”, the solution being “Bertrand’s ballot theorem”, the problem is stated thusly:In an election where candidate A receives p votes and candidate B receives q votes with p > q, what is the probability that A will be strictly ahead of B throughout the count?An alternate but related formulation of the problem is what makes it interesting in a more everyday sense; given an initial, incomplete tally of an estimated percentage of the vote, at what point can you be confident Candidate A will win the final count? In other words, when do you “call” an election?The answer, given the variables in the original formulation, is:[math]\dfrac{p-q}{p+q}[/math]All other things being equal (they usually aren’t), the more lopsided the vote, the less likely Candidate B will ever have more of his votes counted than the other candidate’s at any time in the tally. Based on percentage reporting, you can typically “call” an election with confidence when the percentage margin, extrapolated to the total estimated vote to calculate a likely final vote tally, makes it very unlikely according to the above formula that the currently-leading candidate is actually the loser, or that the trailing candidate will make it interesting by closing the gap.
If voter fraud is not a problem, do you have a problem with this math?
So to be clear the voter roles do not have a mechanism to automatically purge voters as they die or as people move. This would take money, and I am not aware of any government offering to provide the money.But the issue is not who is on the voter rolls, but rather who is voting.And on this issue:no one, mot even Kobach, has provided any evidence of significant fraud:Opinion | Kris Kobach’s Voting Sham Gets Exposed in CourtSo if, despite major efforts by invested government entities to find fraud, no fraud has been found, then what is the real issue?If you want the voter rolls maintained in a pristine manner, why then ante up some money. If you are unwilling to pay for it, and it has not been shown to be impacting the integrity of the elections, then what is the issue?Maybe you should focus on resources to stop the improper purging of voter rolls of people actually eligible to vote. This has been shown to be tens of thousands of voters at a time.
How would you solve this math problem?(ratio word problem 8th grade)?
OK, so if you have a ratio of 5 to 2, that means that your votes are split into 7 equal parts, because 5+2=7. If 5x is 4173 more than 2x, then we can make this little equation: 5x=2x+4173 Move 2x to the other side, making it negative. Subtract. 5x-2x=4173 3x=4173 Divide both sides by 3. x=1391 So, because 5 parts voted for and 2 votes voted against, then 5x=number of votes for, and 2x=number of votes against or.... 5x=5(1391)=6955 votes for proposal 2x=2(1391)=2782 votes against proposal good luck!
