Suppose that the pairwise comparison method is used to determine the winner in an election. If there are 14 candidates, how many comparisons must be made? ? comparisons (Type an integer)

Respuesta :

Answer: There are 91 comparisons that can be made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of candidates = 14

We need to find the number of comparisons that must be made.

As we have to use pairwise comparison method.

Number of comparisons would be

[tex]\dfrac{n(n-1)}{2}=\dfrac{14\times 13}{2}=7\times 13=91[/tex]

Hence, there are 91 comparisons that can be made.
