Three friends are trying to decide what to do on Saturday night. The options are to go to a party, go see a play, or hang out at their apartment. Abdul prefers to see a play over going to the party, which he prefers to hanging out. Gina prefers to hang out over seeing a play, which she prefers to going to the party. Shaquille would most like to go to the party, his second choice is to hang out, and the play is his least preferred option. In the spirit of democracy, they decide to vote on their options. In a three-way vote, they each vote for a different choice, leading to a tie and failing to solve their problem. They thus decide to consider the options in pairs.
(1 point) Shaquille suggests that they first vote on hanging out versus going to the play and then vote on the winner of that versus going to the party. Which option will be chosen?
Choose one:
A. Go to the play.
B. Go to the party.
C. Hang out.

Answer:

go to party

Explanation:

Scale of preference can be described as a list of wants of individuals. They are usually arranged in order of importance or preference.

If the individuals vote on hanging out versus going to the play :

Abdul would vote to see a play because it is his most preferred activity

Gina would vote to go hangout because it is her most preferred activity

Shaquille would vote to hangout. this is because going to the play is his second most preferred activity

so hangout would win with 2 votes to 1 in this round.

In the next round of voting, the two contenders would be hangout and going to the party.

Abdul would vote to go the party. Going to the party is his second most preferred activity and hangout is his least preferred activity

Gina would vote to go hangout because it is her most preferred activity

Shaquille would vote to go to the party. This is his most preferred activity.

Going to the party would win the second round of voting
