The leaders of the Planetary Council have different preferences about the strength of punishment for Earth for destroying the Solar System. They have the following numbers of votes: Tarantoga 7, Trurl 3, Pirx 12, Tichy 4, and vote using a simple majority. From this information only, you can infer that (many answers may be correct): Pirx and Tarantoga form a minimal winning coalition The minimum weight winning coalition has 14 votes There is no minimal size winning coalition with two leaders Trurl and Pirx form a minimal connected winning coalition Trurl and Pirx form a minimal range winning coalition O Tichy is not a member of any minimal connected winning coalition There are four minimum winning coalitions Tichy and Trurl do not form a minimal winning coalition

All societies must take decisions on collective resources should be allo- cated. In democratic societies such decisions are often taken by majority voting, as a matter of fact democracy is often associated with majority voting. However, it has for a long time been known that this way of taking collective decisions is associated with certain problems. (a) Assume that a small city should decide whether they should build a new public library (x), a new public swimming pool (y), or improving the street lightning along the city's main street (z). Only one of these alternative can be started during the next budget year. The city population can be divided into three equally large groups, the members of each group has the following preference ordering for these alternatives: 1:x > y > z, 2: y > z> x, 3:z > x> y.
part G H I 4.7. The instant recall method works as follows. If there is a candidatewith the majority of the first-place votes, that candidate is declaredthe unique winner. Otherwise, the candidate with the plurality of thefirst-place votes is eliminated from the slate and the process is repeatedamong the remaining candidates. (Ignore the possibility that there maybe a tie for plurality winner.) The method is inspired by the recall elections that are permitted for California gubernatorial elections, which ineffect leave a system where plurality winners lacking majority supportare recallable, and so the ultimate holder of the governor’s office, if theelectorate so chooses, is the first candidate able to withstand a recall(the first candidate to have majority support) after prior plurality winners are eliminated (i.e., recalled). Arnold Schwarzenegger took office inCalifornia via a recall election.(a) Does instant recall satisfy anonymity?(b) Does instant recall satisfy neutrality?(c)…
urgent 1.15. Consider the Supreme Court as an electorate of 9 members thatvotes yes-or-no on a variety of issues. It is customary for this electorateto use the simple majority method, and since 9 is an odd number, no tiescan result when no justices are absent. Imagine the following alternativemethod for determining Supreme Court decisions. The decision is affirmative whenever at least 3 of the first 5 justices vote to affirm. Otherwisethe decision is negative. This is just the bloc voting method, where thejustices form blocs of size 5, 1, 1, 1, and 1. (This method emulates whatwould occur if the first 5 justices were to agree to always vote as a blocand to decide among themselves how the bloc should rule.)(a) Is this method anonymous?(b) Is this method neutral?(c) Is this method monotone?(d) If you were one of the 4 justices not among the first 5, why wouldyou complain about this voting method?
The magazine Science 84 planned to announce a contest in which anyonecould submit a request for either $20 or $100. If fewer than 20% of the submissions requested $100, then everybody would receive what they requested. If 20% or more asked for $100, then everybody would get nothing. Although the magazine wound up not running the contest, because Lloyds of London was unwilling to insure against losses, we can still analyze what equilibrium would predict. Suppose 100,000 people might participate in the contest, and assume that payoffs are measured in money.a. Assume that every possible participant submits a request for either $20or $100. Find a Nash equilibrium.b. Now suppose that a request form comes only with the purchase of Science 84 and that the magazine costs $21.95. Then each person’s strategy set has three elements: do not buy the magazine, buy the magazine and submit a request for $20, and buy the magazine andsubmit a request for $100. Suppose zero value is attached to…
Solve it correctly please. My last attempt. Multiple votes will be done. Typed answer only..
Each one has ONE Senator who votes for their state and is elected only by the voters in their own state. Each Senator's vote is equal in the voting process. There are three projects being considered and each will only bring revenue into the one State in which it is built BUT all three projects, if built, will be built with Taxes paid by ALL of the population of all 5 states. District 1 is not considering a project at this time. District 2 is mostly urban and they want to build a Football stadium to attract tourists. District 3 is not considering a project at this time. District 4 wants to build a Space Exploration Research Center. District 5 wants to build an airport. The relevant Benefit (positive number) and Cost (negative number) to each district details are below: District I District II District III District IV District V O Regulatory Capture Logrolling Stadium ($) -30 80 -30 -30 -30 The Scenario outlined above is commonly known as: Kleptocracy Rent Seeking Airport ($) -25 -25 -25…
Mr. and Mrs. Smith vote opposite in presidential elections in a swing state. Assign 1 point for voting your preferred candidate and 0 points if you don’t vote. If you don’t want your candidate to lose, what is the Nash equilibrium in this situation, please explain ?
Match the following according to the criterion. If a candidate receives [ Choose ] more than half the first- place votes in an election, then that candidate should be declared the winner. If a candidate is favored [ Choose ] when compared separately with every other candidate in an election, then that candidate should be declared the winner. If a candidate wins an [ Choose] election and, in a reelection, the only changes are changes that favor the candidate, then that candidate should win the reelection. If a candidate wins an [ Choose ] election and, in a recount, the only changes are that one or more of the other candidates are removed from the ballot, then that candidate should still win the election.
1.17. Jones and Smith are running for public office. There are 99 voters.(a) Suppose the rules say that Jones wins if she receives 50 or morevotes; otherwise Smith wins. Is this method neutral?(b) Suppose the rules say that a candidate wins if he or she receivesa number of votes that is between 60 and 89. (If neither candidategets a winning number of votes, then the election is a tie.) Is thismethod monotone?(c) Suppose the rules say that a candidate wins if he or she receives anodd number of votes. (If neither candidate gets a winning numberof votes, then the election is a tie.) Is this method decisive?(d) Suppose that the rules say that Smith wins the election no matterwhat. Is this method anonymous?
Does traditional one-person-one-vote (1p1v) majority voting allow voters to directly express differences in strengths of preference? Does quadratic voting do any better? Discuss the differences and then explain which system you prefer, and why.
otherwise I will vote negative.????
Answer and explain your answer correctly. I will rate accordingly with multiple votes...
