Multiple Choice

Table 22-4
​

-Refer to Table 22-4. The table shows the preferences of three types of voters over three possible outcomes: A, B, and C. In addition, the table shows the percentage of voters of each type. Based on this information, which of the following statements is true?

• A)As the Condorcet Paradox predicts, majority rule fails to produce transitive preferences for society.
• B)As Arrow's Impossibility Theorem demonstrates, it is impossible from this information to determine which outcome the voters prefer.
• C)The median voter theorem allows us to conclude that in a vote between B and C, B will win since the Type 2 voter is the median voter.
• D)While the Condorcet Paradox predicts that majority rule may not produce transitive preferences for society as a whole, society's preferences in this case are transitive.
