Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 74E

Suppose that the following was proposed as a fairness criterion: If a majority of the voters rank X above Y , then the results of the election should have X ranked above Y . Give an example to illustrate why all four voting methods discussed in the chapter can violate this criterion. (Hint: Consider an example with no Condorcet candidate.)

  • Many everyday​ decisions, like who will drive to lunch or who will pay for the​ coffee, are made by the toss of a​ (presumably fair) coin and using the criterion​ "heads, you​ will; tails, I​ will." This criterion is not quite​ fair, however, if the coin is biased​ (perhaps due to slightly irregular construction or​ wear). John von Neumann suggested a way to make perfectly fair​ decisions, even with a possibly biased coin. If a​ coin, biased so that ​P(h)=0.5200 and ​P(t)=0.4800​, is tossed​ twice, find the probability ​P(​hh).
    An exit poll of voters yielded the following information regarding voting patterns on propositions A, B, and C: 294 voters votes yes on A; 90 voted yes only on A, 346 voted yes on B, 166 voted yes only on B, 517 voted yes on A or B, 339 voted yes on C, no one voted yes on all three, and 72 voted no on all three. a) Sketch a venn diagram b) What percent of the voters voted no on A? c) What percent of the voters voted yes on more than one proposition?
    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 out of 200 town voters favor the proposal and 240 out of 500 county voters favor it, would you agree that the proportion of town voters favoring the proposal is higher than the proportion of county voters? Use an alpha = 0.01 level of significance.
  • 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.
