In the weighted voting system below, the weights represent voters A, B, C, and so on, in that order. Answer parts (a) through (d). \( [17: 16,6,6,6] \) b. How many yoters are there? What are the weights of the voters? A has 16 vote(s). 6 vote(s). C has 6 vote(s). D has 6 vote(s). c. Are there any dictators? Y Yes No

We are given the weighted voting system [17: 16, 6, 6, 6], where the first number (17) is the quota and the subsequent numbers are the weights assigned, in order, to voters A, B, C, D. b. How many voters are there? What are the weights of the voters?  There are 4 voters.  • Voter A has 16 votes.  • Voter B has 6 votes.  • Voter C has 6 votes.  • Voter D has 6 votes. c. Are there any dictators?  A dictator is a voter who can single-handedly determine the outcome (i.e., by voting yes alone they meet or exceed the quota, and by voting no always defeat a proposal regardless of the others).  In this case the quota is 17. Since voter A’s weight is 16 (< 17), even A cannot reach the quota without support. Therefore, no voter has the power to decide the outcome on his or her own.  Answer: No, there are no dictators.
