A company's board consists of 4 people: Abigail (the CEO), Benoit, Charlie, and Debra. When they take a vote, if there is a majority (either up or down), that vote prevails. If, however, there is a tie, then Abigail's vote is the tie-breaker (e.g. if A&B vote up, and C&D vote down, the outcome is "up", because A's vote breaks the tie). The truth table will show all possible combinations of the 4 votes, and the final decision for each.
