7. Suppose that after the 2020 presidential election there are three races that are too close to call: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In order to become president, a candidate must receive 270 electoral votes or more. Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes, Michigan has 16, and Pennsylvania has 20. Suppose that in the other decided races, Democrats have 259 electoral votes and Republicans have 233. The Democrat has an 80% chance of winning Wisconsin, a 50% chance of winning Michigan, and...

1. Throughout this question, assume that you are one of only three voters. Suppose voters are only concerned with the quality of candidates. In particular, let q R L be the difference in quality between candidate R and candidate L. There is no cost of voting and the utility is equal to one if the higher quality candidate wins and zero otherwise The winner is determined by majority rule. When q is observable, each voter votes for the higher quality...

Three friends (A, B, and C) will participate in a round-robin tournament in which each one plays both of the others. Suppose that P(A beats B) = 0.2 P(A beats C) = 0.6 P(B beats C) = 0.8 and that the outcomes of the three matches are independent of one another. (a) What is the probability that A wins both her matches and that B beats C? (b) What is the probability that A wins both her matches? (c) What...
