A popular vote works just like it sounds. A group of people vote on an issue or candidate. The votes are then tallied, and the issues or candidates are rank-ordered. The person or issue with the most votes wins. Therefore, a popular vote is really just a method of selecting a candidate or adopting an issue based on a majority of the total voters in an election. It really is quite simple.
The probability of getting one black card out of a 52 deck of cards (where 26 are red and 26 are black) is: , <u>(remember that probability of an event = (total amount of favorable outcomes/ total amount of outcomes) </u>by simplifying this fraction we get: .
Therefore, the probability of getting one black card out of a deck of 52 cards is 1/2.
Since the way of picking cards is done with replacement, for the <u>second card,</u> if we want to get another black one we would have a probability of <u>1/2.</u>
Again, for the <u>third card we would still have a probability of 1/2 of getting a black one.</u>
We want to get a black one on the first time AND on the second AND on the third one, therefore we have to use the rule of multiplication, which tells us we have to multiply all three probabilities:
P(having 3 black cards) =
Applying the same way of thinking that we used before but now for the red cards (which are also 26) we have that the probability of getting one red card is 1/2
Thus,
P(having 3 red cards) =
Since the problem is asking us to get either 3 black cards OR 3 red cards, we are going to use the rule of sum and we're going to sum up both probabilities.
P(having 3 black cards OR 3 red cards) =
Thus, the probability that either all three are black or all three are red is 1/4
<span>It might be stated that Kant's three imperative formulations are the Universal Law, Humanity and Autonomy. The first one might “act in accordance with a maxim if you can at the same time will it as a universal law”, the second might “act so that you can use humanity, rather in yourself or another, as an end (in itself), and never merely as a means”, and the last one might act in accordance with maxims that would be enacted into law be a legislator and member of a realm of ends. On the other hand, he defines Counsel of Prudence as the “hypothetical Imperatives that have happiness as their end; ex: make friends so as to be happy”.<span> </span></span>
