Missing Voters
Missing Voters
Suppose that on a proposed bill there are voters, of whom are against the bill. Suppose also that voters will miss the vote. Assume that the missing voters are absent for purely random reasons (traffic delays, illness, forgetfulness, etc.) that have nothing to do with whether they are for or against the bill. What is the probability that the bill will be defeated? This Demonstration shows these probabilities. We assume that, in the case of a tie, the bill passes.
