- A Senior High School class held an election for class president. Instead of just voting for one candidate, the students needed to rank all the candidates according to preference. The table presents the results. RANKINGS Anton 2 3 1 3 4 2 Maria 4 1 3 4 1 3 Shelly 1 2 2 2 3 4 Troy 3 4 4 1 2 1 Number of Votes 36 53 41 27 31 45 1. Who is the winner by plurality? 2.

Write your response below:arrow_forwardThe students in a class get to decide on the color of the classroom. The two choices are blue and yellow. Polling shows yellow is preferred by a small majority, 53% for yellow to 47% for blue. However, before the vote is held, a new color choice is added: red. Not a lot of people like red, but there are some yellow supporters who would actually vote for red. The results of the vote are below.
