Consider Alice’s spaceship with the paintball apparatus that shoots two paintballs toward clocks at opposite ends of her ship, each with speed S relative to the apparatus (similar to the video lecture). Assume that Alice has properly synchronized her clocks, that her spaceship is moving with speed V to the right (in the positive x direction) relative to Bob, that S is greater than V, and that S and V are much less than the speed of light. According to Bob’s observation of Alice’s spaceship (and clocks and paintballs) flying by, what will be the speed of the paintball that is moving to the left? (In other words, what is the speed in Bob’s frame of reference? We’re interested in the speed as the magnitude of velocity, so don’t worry about whether it might be positive or negative.)

Let’s assume there are three ice-cream companies: Mycream, Iscream and Iceland. Mycream has a market share of 27%, Iscream a market share of 38% and Iceland a market share of 35%. Using the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) you can say that for the case above the market is …

Political scientists use the diversity index to decide if an election was democratic. If the diversity index is close to one (this is a low diversity index), than some say that an election was not very democratic. Using the diversity index as a guide (with higher indices implying more democratic), which of the following two countries probably had a more democratic election?
