Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (IIA) Criterion
Majority Criterion
No fairness criteria are violated
Monotonicity Criterion

The Pew Research Center (2021) conducted a survey to learn more about how people in theUnited States think about voting rights. They were particularly interested in learning if there aregroup differences in whether people viewed voting as a, “Privilege that comes withresponsibilities and can be limited” or a, “Fundamental right for every U.S. citizen and shouldnot be restricted.” They found differences in these perspectives between the two leading politicalparties, with more Democrats reporting that they viewed voting as a fundamental right comparedto Republicans. However, they were also interested in determining if there were differencesbetween different racial/ethnic groups and compared the responses of white, Black, Hispanic,and Asian survey respondents. What statistical test should be used to determine if there are differences between the surveyed racial/ethnic groups? Assume parametric assumptions are met.
A. Is this a relationship test or a difference test? Explain your…

- Many everyday decisions, like who will drive to lunch or who will pay for the coffee, are made by the toss of a (presumably fair) coin and using the criterion "heads, you will; tails, I will." This criterion is not quite fair, however, if the coin is biased (perhaps due to slightly irregular construction or wear). John von Neumann suggested a way to make perfectly fair decisions, even with a possibly biased coin. If a coin, biased so that P(h)=0.5200 and P(t)=0.4800, is tossed twice, find the probability P(hh).arrow_forwardTwenty percent of the employees in acompany are college graduates.
