Three friends are choosing a TV show to watch. Here are their preferences:
(a) If the three friends try using a Borda count to make their choice, what would happen?
Chandler |
Phoebe |
Monica |
|
First Choice |
Lost |
Heroes |
Scrubs |
Second Choice |
Heroes |
Scrubs |
Lost |
Third Choice |
Scrubs |
Lost |
Heroes |
(b) Monica suggests a vote by majority rule. She proposes that first they choose between Lost and Heroes, and then they choose between the winner of the first vote and Scrubs. If they all vote their preferences honestly, what outcome would occur?
(c) Should Chandler agree to Monicas suggestion? What voting system would he prefer?
(d) Phoebe and Monica convince Chandler to go along with Monicas proposal. In round one, Chandler dishonestly says he prefers Heroes over Lost. Why might he do this?
How do you count the number of vote?
