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 total share of the company is 100%. The distribution of shares of the company gives the number of votes owned by
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,

- in an election, everyone votes for either candidate A or Candidate B. after 60% of the votes are counted, candidate A is leading 60% to 40%. That means that B must get what percentage of the remaining votes to have the same number of votes as A.arrow_forwardA dog enthusiast wanted to see if there was a difference in pit-bull ownership between people in Arcata and Eureka. They obtained a list of registered dog owners from the city of Eureka and the city of Arcata, then they randomly selected people from each list until they had 150 responses from Arcata and 150 responses from eureka. The total number of people from Arcata who reported having a pit-bull was 33. The total number from Eureka was 40. What are the population(s) the researcher is interested in studying? Is this an observational study or an experiment? Was the researchers sampling method biased, if so, what kind of bias? Is the data qualitative, quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete? Write down the Null and Alternative hypothesis based on the researcher’s initial question.

A study of high school juniors in three districts- Seminole, Orange, and Volusia - was conducted to determine the enrollment trends in AP mathematics courses. 42% of students in the study came from Seminole, 37% from Orange, and the rest from Volusia. In Seminole, 64% of juniors took statistics and the rest took calculus. 58% of juniors in Orange and 49% of juniors in Volusia took statistics while the rest took calculus in each district. No juniors took both statistics and calculus. Make a chart, table, or tree diagram b. What is the probability a student took statistics? c. What is the probability that a student was from Seminole given they took statistics?arrow_forward
- The owner of a popular coffee shop wants to determine if there is a difference between the proportion of customers who use their own cups when they purchase a coffee beverage, and the proportion of customers who use their own cups when they purchase an espresso beverage. Customers using their own cups get a 5% discount, which is displayed on the receipt. The owner randomly selects 50 receipts from all coffee purchases and 50 receipts from all espresso purchases. For coffee purchases, 24 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. For espresso purchases, 18 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, what is the 99% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of customers who use their own cups? Find the z-table here.

Four third graders participate, 2 boys and 2 girls. For each child, a marble is drawn without replacement from a bucket containing 2 red marbles and 2 blue marbles. If a red marble is selected, the child gets a pen and if blue, the child gets a pencil. The children are assigned in this order: boy 1, girl 1, boy 2, girl 2. LetX be the number of boys assigned to a pen. Find E (X). Find SD(X). а. b.arrow_forward
