To determine

Using pairwise comparison, which film is the favorite of the visitors to the site who voted?

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

Rankings
  X -Men   1  2  1  3
  X2  4  4  2  1
  X -Men: The last Stand   2  1  3  2
  X -Men Origins: Wolverine   3  3  4  4
Number of votes:  429  1137  384  582

Concept used:

Create a table to keep track of each of the head-to-head comparisons. Before we begin note that a matchup between. say, X -Men and X

2 is same as the matchup between X

2 and X -Men.

Calculation:

The match table is as follows:

Versus   X -Men   X2  X -Men: The last Stand   X -Men Origins: Wolverine
  X -Men
  X2
  X -Men: The last Stand
  X -Men Origins: Wolverine

X -men is favored over X2 with 429+1137+384=1950 votes.

X2 Is favored over X -men with 582 votes.

Therefore, the winner of this matchup is X -men, so that name is place in the X -men versus X2 cell.

X -Men is favored over X -men last stand with 429+384=813 votes.

X -Men the last stand is favored over X -men with 1137+582=1719 votes.

Therefore, the winner of this matchup is X -men the last stand, so that name is place in the X -men versus X -men the last stand cell.

X -Men is favored over X -men origins wolverine with
