Textbook Question
Chapter 6.2, Problem 12E
In J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth, the regions in and around the Misty Mountains are inhabited by elves, dwarves, and Ents (tree shepherds). Elves reside in Rivendell and Lothlorien, dwarves dwell in Moria, and Ents roam the forests of Fangorn. Suppose that these inhabitants decide to form a federation to foster mutual protection, historical preservation, and cultural exchange. If the federation is to have twenty-one seats, use Hamilton's Method and the (estimated) population data given in Figure 6.89 to apportion the seats.

A survey of 1,035 tourists visiting Orlando was taken. Of those surveyed:
255 tourists had visited LEGOLAND
270 tourists had visited Universal Studios
82 tourists had visited both the Magic Kingdom and LEGOLAND
65 tourists had visited both the Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios
90 tourists had visited both LEGOLAND and Universal Studios
23 tourists had visited all three theme parks

Suppose that there are five young women and six young men on an island. Each woman is willing to marry some of the
men on the island and each man is willing to marry any woman who is willing to marry him. Suppose that Anna is willing to
marry Jason, Larry, and Matt; Barbara is willing to marry Kevin and Larry; Carol is willing to marry Jason, Nick, and Oscar;
Diane is willing to marry Jason, Larry, Nick, and Oscar; and Elizabeth is willing to marry Jason and Matt.
Identify the correct statements with respect to the matching between men and women formed in the previous question.
(Check all that apply.)
Check All That Apply
It is a complete matching from the set of women to the set of men.
It is not a complete matching from the set of women to the set of men.
It is a maximum matching, since complete matching is always a maximum matching.
×
×
It is not a maximum matching, because complete matching need not be always a maximum matching.
