One of the voting methods requires voters to rank all candidates from the most favorable to the least favorable. Each last-place vote receives 1 point, each next-to-last place vote 2 points, and so on. This voting method is called the _________ method. The candidate with the ______ is the winner.
brandon conducted a research to determine the preference of students during online classes. From the 250 students who participated in the study, 85 wanted to have synchronous classes, 90 wanted to have asynchronous classes, and 100 wanted to have blended learning. From the respondents, it was seen that 35 preferred either synchronous and asynchronous, 10 preferred synchronous and blended learning, 25 preferred blended learning and asynchronous, and exactly 55 liked two of the mode of learning. 1. How many students liked synchronous, asynchronous, and blended learning? 2. How many students liked synchronous learning, but did not preferred asynchronous or blended learning? 3. How many students did not like either of the three modes of learning? 4. Draw the initial and final Venn diagram.

Two construction companies, Giant and Sky, bid for the right to build in a field. The possible bids are $ 10 Million, $ 20 Million, $ 30 Million, S 35 Million and S 40 Million. The winner is the company with the higher bid. The two companies decide that in the case of a tie (equal bids), Giant is the winner and will get the field. Giant has ordered a survey and, based on the report from the survey, 1 concludes that getting the field for more than $ 35 Million is as bad as not getting it (assume loss), except in case of a tie (assume win) Sky is not aware of this survey.
