Question

A junior college is going to choose a Homecoming Queen, and the candidates are the Freshman Queen and the Sophomore Queen. If there are 600 freshman and 400 sophomore voters, which would be a FAIR way of conducting the vote? [Fair, in this case, means that the Freshman Queen does not have an automatic advantage.]
A) Count the votes, then deduct 100 from the freshman total.
B) Count the votes and the Queen with the highest total becomes Homecoming Queen.
C) Count the votes, counting each sophomore ballot as 1.5 votes and each freshman ballot as 1 vote.
D) Count the votes, counting each freshman ballot as 1.5 votes and each sophomore ballot as 1 vote.

Answer 1

Count the votes, counting each sophomore ballot as 1.5 votes and each freshmen ballot as 1 vote.
ur doing this because there is 200 more freshmen then sophomores...and if u count each sophomore vote as 1.5, it would make up for the 200 more freshmen
