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.
determine the (a) winning coalitions; and for each winning coalition, (b) determine the critical voter.
1. Voters A, B, C, and D in the weighted voting system { 31: 19, 15, 12, 10 }.
