Five partners
a. decisions in the partnership are made by simple majority.
b. decisions in the partnership require two-thirds of the votes.
a)
To describe:
The partnership as a weighted voting system where decisions in the partnership are made by simple majority.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The partnership as a weighted voting system by simple majority is given as,
Explanation of Solution
Given:
In the Gaussian Electric Company,
Procedure:
A given number of votes are controlled by each player in a formal voting arrangement, it is said to be weighted voting system.
Calculation:
The total share of the company is 100%. The distribution of shares of the company gives the number of votes owned by
Total number of votes is given by,
The simple majority is considered to be more than 50% of the total number of votes.
Majority is given by,
The standard notation of weighted voting system where decisions in the partnership are made by simple majority is given as,
Conclusion:
Thus, the partnership as a weighted voting system by simple majority is given as,
b)
To calculate:
The partnership as a weighted voting system where decisions in the partnership require two-thirds of the votes.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The partnership as a weighted voting system where decisions in the partnership require two-thirds of the votes is given as,
Explanation of Solution
Given:
In the Gaussian Electric Company,
Procedure:
A given number of votes are controlled by each player in a formal voting arrangement, it is said to be weighted voting system.
Calculation:

The standard notation of weighted voting system where decisions in the partnership require two-thirds of the votes is given as,
Conclusion:
Thus, the partnership as a weighted voting system where decisions in the partnership require two-thirds of the votes is given as,

- Forty-eight percent of all Californians registered voters prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. Among Latino California registered voters, 55% prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. 37.6% of all Californians are Latino.Suppose that one Californian is randomly selected.In this problem, let:•C= Californians (registered voters) preferring life in prison withoutparole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder.•L= Latino Californians With this information Find P(C).arrow_forwardthe comic book store owner is curious in how well radio and newspaper advertisements work. A sample of 22 counties with almost equal populations was gathered during the month. For each of the counties, the owner has set aside a particular sum for radio and newspaper advertising. Additionally, the owner was able to access comic book sales information for the stores he controlled in each municipality and classified it as Low or High.

(The two treatment groups were randomly and independently chosen.) It was found that 241 patients were cured using drug A and 157 patients were cured using drug B. Let p1 be the proportion of the population of all patients who are cured using drug A, and let p2 be the proportion of the population of all patients who are cured using drug B. Find a 90% confidence interval for −p1p2 . Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) What is the lower limit of the 90% confidence interval? What is the upper limit of the 90% confidence interval?arrow_forward
