A Condorcet committee of, say, 3 members, is a committee that is preferred by voters over any

Question:

A "Condorcet" committee of, say, 3 members, is a committee that is preferred by voters over any other committee of 3 members. A scoring function was used to determine "Condorcet" committees in Mathematical Social Sciences (November 2013). Consider a committee with members A, B, and C. Suppose there are 10 voters who each have a preference for a 3-member committee. For example, one voter may prefer a committee made up of members A, C, and G. Then this voter's preference score for the {A, B, C} committee is 2, since 2 of the members (A and B) are on this voter's preferred list. For a 3-member committee, voter preference scores range from 0 (no members on the preferred list) to 3 (all members on the preferred list). The table below shows the preferred lists of 10 voters for a 3-member committee selected from potential members A, B, C, D, E, and G.

a. Find the preference score for committee {A, B, C} for each voter.
b. For a randomly selected voter, let x represent the preference score for committee {A, B, C}. Determine the probability distribution for x.
c. What is the probability that the preference score, x, exceeds 2?
d. Is {A, B, C} a "Condorcet" committee?
