1) FIND THE SHAPLEY-SHUBIK DISTRIBUTION (IN PERCENTS) FOR THE SYSTEM (7: 5,3,2,1)
The votes needed are 7.
What are the sequential coalitions? With four players, there are 4! coalitions = 24 coalitions. To show you how this is done in long form, I'll list all the sequential coalitions and then comment on who is the pivotal voter in each one. That means, if the players vote in the order listed, which player's vote is pivotal for causing a winning coalition?
5,3,2,1 (3 is pivotal)
5,3,1,2 (3 is pivotal)
5,2,3,1 (2 is pivotal)
5,2,1,3 (2 is pivotal)
5,1,3,2 (3 is pivotal)
5,1,2,3 (2 is pivotal)
3,2,5,1 (5 is pivotal)
3,2,1,5 (5 is pivotal)
3,5,2,1 (5 is pivotal)
3,5,1,2 (5 is pivotal)
3,1,2,5 (5 is pivotal)
3,1,5,2 (5 is pivotal)
2,3,1,5 (5 is pivotal)
2,3,5,1 (5 is pivotal)
2,5,3,1 (5 is pivotal)
2,5,1,3 (5 is pivotal)
2,1,5,3 (5 is pivotal)
2,1,3,5 (5 is pivotal)
1,2,3,5 (5 is pivotal)
1,2,5,3 (5 is pivotal)
1,3,2,5 (5 is pivotal)
1,3,5,2 (5 is pivotal)
1,5,3,2 (3 is pivotal)
1,5,2,3 (2 is pivotal)
Now, let's add them up. In how many sequential coalitions is the player with 5 votes pivotal? 16. Therefore, his is 16/24 = 66.67% approximately.
In how many coalitions is the player with 3 votes pivotal? 4. Therefore, his is 4/24 = 16.67%
In how many coalitions is the player with 2 votes pivotal? 4. Therefore, his is 4/24 = 16.67%
In how many coalitions is the player with 1 vote pivotal? None. Therefore, his is 0/24 = 0%
