Spokesperson: in the 2006 election of the city mayor, 55% of the voters were female. all the voters were between ages 18 and 70 and 2/3 of them supported the incumbent mayor. the incumbent mayor won the election with a substantially greater number of votes than any other candidate.

if the statements made by the spokesperson are true, then which of the following must be true?

(a) at least 1/2 of the female voters supported the incumbent mayor.
(b) the incumbent mayor received stronger support from the female voters than from the male voters.
(c) there were no other candidates in the election who received more than 30% of all the votes.
(d) 45% of the voters in the election were male and none of them were 75 years old.
(e) if the proportion of male and female voters in the city remains the same, the incumbent mayor is also likely to win the next election.

d)

Explanation:

Following the statements of the spokesperson, we can only reach certain conclusions for sure.

We know that 55% of the voters were female, therefore, the rest of them were male. This means that 45% of the voters were male.

Also we know that all the voters were between the ages 18 and 70 so there were no voters younger than 18 or older than 70.

Thus, d) 45% of the voters in the election were male and none of them were 75 years old. is true.

The other statements don't necessarily follow from the spokesperson, or at least we'd need more information to really know.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )

it depends on which society you are referring to. many civilization performed rituals so the gods would with their growing season but the most well known is that of the aztecs. they would make sacrifices, usually animals, but sometimes humans as well.
