    1. Using the plurality method, the starting time for the final exam is 10:00 AM, as A received the most first choice votes. 2. Using the Borda count method, 10:00 AM is again selected as the starting time, as A received the highest total score. 3. Using the plurality with elimination method, 10:00 AM remains the choice, as A was the majority pick in each round. 4. Across all voting methods tested, 10:00 AM or option A consistently wins the election for the starting time of the final exam.

    Voting Exercises

    The students in Dr. Lee’s math class are asked to vote on the starting time for their final exam. Their choices are
    M for 8:00AM, A for 10:00AM, T for 12NN, or H for 2:00PM. The results of the election are shown in the preference
    table below.

    Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2
    First Choice M A T H A M
    Second Choice A M H T T H
    Third Choice T H A M M A
    Fourth Choice H T M A H T

    1. Determine the starting time using the plurality method.

    With a total of 14 votes in the first choice using the plurality method, A or 10:00 AM is the starting time.

    2. Using the plurality method, was the head-to-head comparison criterion violated?

    Yes, because M is the winner when head-to-head comparison is made.

    3. Determine the starting time using the Borda count method.

    Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2
    First Choice M: 32 A: 48 T: 20 H: 12 A: 8 M: 8
    Second Choice A: 24 M: 36 H: 15 T: 9 T: 6 H: 6
    Third Choice T: 16 H: 24 A: 10 M: 6 M: 4 A: 4
    Fourth Choice H: 8 T: 12 M: 5 A: 3 H: 2 T: 2

    M = 32 + 36 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 8 = 91

    A = 24 + 48 + 10 + 3 + 8 + 4 = 93

    T = 16 + 12 + 20 + 9 + 6 + 2 = 65

    H = 8 + 24 + 15 + 12 + 2 + 6 = 67

    The starting time will be A or 10:00 AM if Borda count method is used.

    4. Using the Borda count method, was the majority criterion violated?

    It was not violated because 14 voters listed A first and A won using the Borda count method.
    5. Determine the starting time using the plurality with elimination method.
    Round 1
    Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2
    First Choice M A T H A M
    Second Choice A M H T T H
    Third Choice T H A M M A
    Fourth Choice H T M A H T
    M = 10, A = 14, T = 5, H = 3

    Round 2

    Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2
    First Choice M A T T A M
    Second Choice A M A M T A
    Third Choice T T M A M T
    M = 10, A = 14, T = 8

    Round 3

    Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2
    First Choice M A A M A M
    Second Choice A M M A M A
    M = 13, A = 18

    A or 10:00 AM wins using the plurality with elimination method.

    6. Using the plurality with elimination, was the majority criterion violated?

    No since A was the majority in every round.

    7. Determine the starting time using the pairwise comparison method.

    M vs A M vs T
    Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2 Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2
    First Choice M A A M A M First Choice M M T T T M
    Second Choice A M M A M A Second Choice T T M M M T
    M = 13, A = 19 M = 22, T = 10

    M vs H A vs T
    Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2 Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2
    First Choice M M H H M M First Choice A A T T A A
    Second Choice H H M M H H Second Choice T T A A T T
    M = 24, H = 8 A = 24, T = 8

    A vs H T vs H
    TOTAL
    Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2 Number of Votes 8 12 5 3 2 2
    M 1 1 2
    First Choice A A H H A H First Choice T H T H T H
    A 1 1 1 3
    Second Choice H H A A H A Second Choice H T H T H T
    T 0
    A = 22, H = 10 T= 15, H = 17
    H 1 1
    Conclusion: A or 10:00 AM is the starting time using the pairwise comparison method.

    8. If a room for Dr. Lee’s final exam was not available at 2:00PM, and the votes were recounted in the election, is
    the irrelevant alternatives criterion violated?

    It is not violated because it would only subtract 1 win from M and A, thus not affecting the overall result.
