Question

A 14-member board used for admitted

Answer 1

Using the Borda's method, when one person is ranked as 1st, he/she gets 3 points, if he/she is ranked 2nd, get 2 points, also, if he/she is ranked as 3rd get 1 point, and finally, 0 points if she/he is ranked as 4th

so, let's detemine how many points got each one

Cardona: Was selected 1st by 6 people, 2nd by 2 people, 3rd by 4 people and 4th by 2 people

`C=3*6+2*2+1*4=26`

So, that's a total of 26 points

Pitts-Jones: Was selected as: #1 by 4 people, #2 by 3 people, #3 by 6 people and 4th by 1 person

`P=3*4+2*3+1*6=24`

So, that's 24 points for Pitts-Jones,

De Plata: Was ranked #1 by 2 people, #2 by 8 people, #3 by 1 person and #4 by 3 people

`D=3*2+2*8+1*1=23`

That's 23 points for De Plata

Vincent: Was ranked as #1 by 2 people, #2 by 1 person, #3 by 3 people and #4 by 8 people

`V=3*2+2*1+1*3=11`

that's 11 points for Vincent,

Answer: From the above, we can conclude that the winner using Borda's method is Cardona
