question 346

Multiple Choice

Table 22-7
Suppose that residents of a town are asked to vote on the best way to improve the safety of an intersection. The three choices are: a stoplight, a 4-way stop, and a 2-way stop. The voters are divided into three groups based on their preferences.
Voter Type
-Refer to Table 22-7. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the Condorcet paradox and the results of pairwise voting on how to improve the safety of the intersection?

• A)The paradox implies that pairwise voting never produces transitive preferences, and so the voting in the town fails to produce transitive preferences.
• B)The paradox implies that pairwise voting sometimes (but not always) fails to produce transitive preferences, but the voting in the town does produce transitive preferences.
• C)The paradox implies that pairwise voting sometimes (but not always) fails to produce transitive preferences, and the voting in the town fails to produce transitive preferences.
• D)The paradox implies that pairwise voting always produces transitive preferences, and so the voting in the town produces transitive preferences.
