There are thirty voters in an election with four candidates. Answer the questions below, assuming the winner of the election will be determined by the Borda count method. What is the minimum number of points a candidate can receive?

Welcome back. For this problem, we still have 30 voters in an election with 4 candidates. We'd like to answer the question below, assuming the winner of the election will be determined by the board account method. Here, we want to find the minimum number of points a candidate can receive. Now we have 4 candidates, which means that on each preference ballot, the candidates are ranked 123, and 4. Rank 4 is the lowest, so it receives 1 point, with rank 3 receiving 2 points, rank 2 receiving 3 points, and rank 1 receiving 4 points. The worst you could do, which would mean getting the lowest number of points, is if you happen to get just 1 point, or be at the lowest rank on each of the ballots. There are 30 voters, which means that there are 30 ballots. If someone received the lowest rank, rank 4, on all 30 of the ballots, the number of points they would receive would be 30. 1, and 30 times 1 is just 30. So if a candidate received the lowest rank on all of the ballots, they would receive the lowest possible number of points, 30. Great work.
