Which candidate wins using the plurality method? Did any candidate win a majority of the votes? Who wins following the Instant Runoff Method?

Making your vote count. Democratic and Republican presidential state primary elections differ in the way winning candidates are awarded delegates. In Republican states, the winner is awarded all the state's delegates; conversely, the Democratic state winner is awarded delegates in proportion to the percentage of votes. This difference led to a Chance (Fall 2007 ) article on making your vote count. Consider a scenario where you are one of five county commissioners voting on an issue, where each commissioner is equally likely to vote for or against. a. Your vote counts (i.e., is the decisive vote) only if the other four voters split, 2 in favor and 2 against. Use the binomial distribution to find the probability that your vote counts. b. If you convince two other commissioners to "vote in bloc" (i.e., you all agree to vote among yourselves first, and whatever the majority decides is the way all three will vote, guaranteeing that the issue is decided by the bloc), your vote counts only if these 2 commissioners split their bloc votes, 1 in favor and 1 against. Again, use the binomial distribution to find the probability that your vote counts.

In this country there is one representative for every 75,000 residents. The number of senators is 2 per state. There are 2 candidates for the president, Candidate A and Candidate B. When a candidate wins in a state, they get all the electoral votes for that state. Determine who wins the popular vote and who wins the electoral college vote. (5 pts)

00:01 Okay, in this question we have this preference schedule and we have three sub -question.
00:08 So a, which candidate between a, b, c, d and e wins with the plurality method? so based on the plurality method, let me write in blue, we would have b would have three first place vote.
00:35 And plus four plus two which means nine.
00:44 So b has nine first place vote and in total i'm gonna add a column also in blue why not there are three plus four so seven plus four eleven plus six seventeen plus two nineteen plus one twenty so 9 out of 20 is less than 50%.
01:19 So that's going to be important later.
01:23 We're going to have c with 4.
01:30 Therefore, 4 out of 20, not a majority, which is also less than 50%.
01:37 And choice d has so we did b we did c with b we did already d has six so six out of 20 which is less than 50 percent i remember to have more than 50 percent you would need 11 which is going to become more into playing question b and final finally, candidate e received only one first place vote, therefore one out of 20, which is also less than 50%.
02:22 So by the plurality method, candidate b would have wins.
02:32 Candidate b wins with 45 % of the vote.
02:50 Of the votes which leads directly into question b therefore there is no majority there is no majority there is no majority no candidate has above 50 % of the votes so what now now what well we can do the instant run method so which candidate would win using the instant run of method i'll call it the irn so as we can see candidate a received no first place vote whatsoever so we're gonna remove candidate a from our grid candidate a a a candidate a another candidate a then i get them all yes i did and everyone's going to be shift up a place so for example i'm gonna keep my green pen so here we're gonna have d and b d and e sorry becomes choice number three and choice number four so d d i want to write my choice in green, d and e...
