Studying for a chapter examination is
a personal process, one which nobody else can do for you.
Simply take the time to review what you have done.

if you cannot, then look it up in the text (the section
number is shown in brackets).
Can you explain each of these important ideas
in your own words?

Next, make sure you understand the types of problems
in Chapter 17.
Understand and be able to use voting notation.
[17.1]
Decide how many different voting orders are possible for
a set of candidates. [17.1]
Use the majority rule. [17.1]
Calculate the winner of an election using the plurality
method. [17.1]
Calculate the winner of an election using the Borda count
method. [17.1]
Calculate the winner of an election using the pairwise comparison
method. [17.1]
Calculate the winner of an election using the tournament
method. [17.1]
Calculate the winner of an election using the Hare method.
[17.1]
Be able to discuss and recognize the majority criterion
[17.2]
Be able to discuss and recognize the Condorcet criterion
[17.2]
Be able to discuss and use the monotonicity criterion [17.2]
Be able to discuss and use the irrelevant alternatives criterion
[17.2]
What are the fairness criteria? [17.2]
Be able to find the standard quota and divisor. [17.3]
Apportion using Adams' plan. [17.3]
Apportion using Jefferson's plan. [17.3]
Apportion using Hamilton's plan. [17.3]
Apportion using Webster's plan. [17.3]
Apportion using Huntington-Hill's plan. [17.3]
Be able to discuss and recognize the Alabama paradox. [17.4]
Be able to discuss and recognize the population paradox.
[17.4]
Be able to discuss and recognize the new states paradox.
[17.4]
Once again, see if you can verbalize (to yourself) how
to do each of the listed types of problems. Work all of
Chapter 17 Review Questions (whether they are assigned
or not).
Work through all of the problems before looking at the
answers, and then correct each of the problems. The entire
solution is shown in the answer section at the back of the
text. If you worked the problem correctly, move on to the
next problem, but if you did not work it correctly (or you
did not know what to do), look back in the chapter to study
the procedure, or ask your instructor. Finally, go back
over the homework problems you have been assigned. If you
worked a problem correctly, move on the next problem, but
if you missed it on your homework, then you should look
back in the book or talk to your instructor about how to
work the problem. If you follow these steps, you should
be successful with your review of this chapter.
We give all of the answers to the Chapter Review questions
(not just the odd-numbered questions), so be sure to check
your work with the answers as you prepare for an examination.
