An experiment is designed to see whether 3rd graders can write faster with a pen or pencil. Four third graders participate, 2 boys and 2 girls. For each child, a marble is drawn without replacement from a bucket containing 2 red marbles and 2 blue marbles. If a red marble is selected, the child gets a pen and if blue, the child gets a pencil. The children are assigned in this order: boy 1, girl 1, boy 2, girl 2. LetX be the number of boys assigned to a pen. Find E (X). Find SD(X). а. b.
A voter who has a weight that is greater than or equal to the quota is called a dictator. In a weighted voting system, the dictator has all the power. A voter who is never a critical voter has no power and is referred to as a dummy.
