A voter who has a weight that is greater than or equal to the quota is called a dictator. In a weighted voting system, the dictator has all the power. A voter who is never a critical voter has no power and is referred to as a dummy. This term is not meant to be a comment on the voter's intellectual powers. It just indicates that the voter has no ability to influence an election. Identify any dictator and all dummies for the given weighted voting system. (Select all that apply.) {40: 20, 13, 7, 6} Dictators: O the person with 20 votes O the person with 13 votes O the person with 7 votes O the person with 6 votes O none of these Dummies: O the person with 20 votes O the person with 13 votes O the person with 7 votes O the person with 6 votes O none of these

A telecommunication company proposed construction of a cell site tower in a certain city. To determine whether this is to be constructed, a vote is to be taken among the residents of a city and the surrounding barangays. Many residents in the barangays feel that the proposal will pass because of the large proportion of city voters who favor the construction. A poll is taken to determine if there is a significant difference in the proportion of city voters and barangay voters favoring the proposal. If 250 of 400 city voters favor the proposal and 360 of 500 barangay residents favor it, would you agree that the proportion of city voters favoring the proposal is higher than the proportion of barangay voters? Use a 0.025 level of significance.
A vote is to be taken among the residents of a town and the surrounding county to determine whether a proposed chemical plant should be constructed. The construction site is within the town limits, and for this reason many voters in the county believe that the proposal will pass because of the large proportion of town voters who favor the construction. To determine if there is a significant difference in the proportions of town voters and county voters favoring the proposal, a poll is taken. If 120 of 200 town voters favor the proposal and 240 of 500 county residents favor it, would you agree that the proportion of town voters favoring the proposal is higher than the proportion of county voters? Use an α = 0.05 level of significance.
Economist Arthur Laffer suggests that beyond a certain point, high tax rates depress the economy so much that they actually reduce tax revenues. He proposed tax reductions as a means of stimulating the economy and, as a result, increase tax revenues. In the mid 1990’s Time magazine reported that 30% of the US Congress supported a tax cut as a means of stimulating the economy and increasing tax revenues. Suppose at that time 5 members of congress were randomly selected for an interview and asked whether they supported a tax cut to stimulate the economy. 1.2) Find the probability that at least three of the five members of congress who were interviewed were in favour of a tax cut (rounded off to four decimals).

In recent years, many states have enacted tougher voter identification laws requiring a government issued photo ID. Proponents claim that these laws are necessary to reduce voter fraud. Opponents claim that voter fraud is rare and that since as many as 11% of eligible voters do not have the required identification, these tougher laws will discourage millions of minorities and low-income Americans from voting. The Washington Post conducted a national poll (July 7-19, 2012) and found that 1558 out of 2064 adults supported the tougher voter ID laws. 1)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who approve of tougher voter ID laws. Document your work in the space provided below. Document how you computed the margin of error and the confidence interval in the space provided below. Round all numbers to 4 decimal places. 2)Is it likely that three-fourths of adults approve of these new laws?
A state highway commission is considering removing the lane that allows people to pay cash for a toll on a toll road and requiring all people who use the toll road to pay with an electronic transponder that is connected to their car. The commission wants to know whether the proportion of people who live in the northern part of the state and are in favor of removing the cash lane is different from the proportion of people who live in the southern part of the state and are in favor of removing the cash lane. Independent random samples are selected from the northern and southern parts of the state. The table summarizes the responses of those surveyed. Northern Southern Total Remove Cash Lanes 112 98 210 Keep Cash Lanes 89 105 194 Total 201 203 404 Which of the following is closest to the pp-value of the appropriate test to investigate whether the proportion of people living in the northern part of the state who are in favor of removing the cash lane is different from…

The television show CSI: Shoboygan has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 19, which means, that among the TV sets in use, 19% were tuned to CSI: Shoboygan. An advertiser wants to verify that 19% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 12 households have TV sets in use at the time of a CSI: Shoboygan broadcast.
