A campus club needs to elect four officers: a president, a vice president, a secretary, and a treasurer. The club has five volunteers. Rather than vote individually for each position, the club members will rank the candidates in order of preference. The votes will then be tallied using the Borda Count method. The candidate receiving the highest number of points will be president, the candidate receiving the next highest number of points is vice president, the candidate receiving the next highest number of points is secretary, and the candidate receiving the next highest number of points will be treasurer.

Write your answer on your own sheet of paper and either scan it or take a picture of it and upload it or type your answers into a word document As we've learned, the weights of the players can be deceiving when it comes to determining the amount of power each individual player has. By manipulating the quota, one can make the balance of power be whatever one wants. We’re going to work with this weighted voting system: [q: 5, 4, 3] Determine what to use for the quota to get the indicated BPI values. In each case, explain how you determined your answer by either writing a sentence or two to explain your thought process, or show the work to find the BPIs to prove that your quota actually works. 1) BPI(P1) = 33.33% BPI(P2) = 33.33% BPI(P3) = 33.33% [All players have equal power] 2) BPI(P1) = 60% BPI(P2) = 20% BPI(P3) = 20% 3) BPI(P1) = 50% BPI(P2) = 50% BPI(P3) = 0% [P3 is a dummy]
In a class election with 11 students and 3 candidates, how many different vote outcomes are possible? The 3 candidates do not vote, so the vote total will be 8. Consider them to be blind ballots, so only the total count for each candidate is known.
A company has 19 new employees to train. The training methods consist of computer-based training, televised classes, and traditional classes. The company intends to maximize the number of employees that are trained without the traditional classes, but only 6 employees can be chosen for computer-based training, and 8 employees can be chosen for televised classes. In how many ways can the 19 employees be divided for training?

In an organization, X has been assigned to collect all the accounting departments files from the file room. When he went to take the files, he saw that there is no department name on the files. Instead, the files were labelled as Government, International and Private Client. However, there are three departments (accounting, marketing and management) in that room. From the files, 30% from the accounting department and 50% from management. Now, he also knows that 34% accounting files, 16% marketing files and 25% management files are governmental. a. Therefore, he picks a governmental file, what is the probability that it belongs to the accounting department? b. Therefore, he picks a governmental file, what is the probability that it belongs to marketing department.
