When the pairwise comparison method was used, there was a tie for first place between Green and Chad (work
for this is not shown). Then Matthews was disqualified because his GPA was too low and the votes were
recounted. Was the irrelevant alternatives criterion violated if the pairwise voting method was used? Explain
clearly by showing work and stating your answer in complete sentences.

Apportionment
A campus club has money left over in its budget and must spend it beforethe school year ends. The members arrive at five different possibilities, and each memberranks them in order of preference. The results are shown in the table below.
1. Using the Plurality method, how should they spend the money?
2. Use Plurality with elimination. to know how the money should be spent?
3. Using Pairwise Comparison, how should they spend the money?
4. Using the Borda count method of voting, how should the money be spent?5. In your opinion, which of the previous three methods seems most appropriate in thissituation? Why?
