Question

The same general decision-making process is used whether choosing a college major or buying a used car.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The statement concerning majority rule is true; with more than two choices, there is a possibility that no single option will gain a majority, leading to a majority rule failure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'Majority rule can fail to produce a single preferred outcome when there are more than two choices' is true. In situations with more than two options, it is possible that no single choice will receive a majority of votes, especially when preferences are divided and varied.

This scenario is known as 'majority rule failure' and can lead to a need for alternative decision-making procedures or additional rounds of voting to achieve a clear majority outcome.
