Jogs1900:
We are waiting for the end result but Once it enters May 29, nothing again.
Moreover, you know they can easily delete the record from their data base and it becomes unverifiable.Guinea is not America.

This is were opposition comes in. I expect the LP and the PDP to dig into this and give Nigerians the truth. But if they fail to do this, then the Country is doomed. We need a very vibrant opposition for democracy to thrive and for the people to benefit from it.

favor914:
Probably he is a honorary citizen of the Republic du Guinea, & entitled to a diplomatic passport @ the pleasure of the president of Guinea as a special diplomatic representative of the president of Guinea to Nigeria.

He Tinubu is elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he renounces his Guinean citizenship before been sworn in, please what is all the noise about?

Diplomatic Passport for a honorary citizen? That would be strange but let's see. I'm sure more details will be revealed soon.

Jogs1900:
I'm not moved with all these photocopy of Guinean passport...Let them bring out a verifiable copy of the passport ..Thats when we will know Obis people are serious.If its a Nigerian passport now, I can easily verify that in my office.
I know there are ways to verify Guinean passport too..

More info will come out trust me. The reason why it's still hazy is because the Hundeyin is trying to protect the identity of the whistle blower. Many interested Parties will travel to Guinea to get the verified information of Tinubu’s citizenship. Just relax and eat some pop corn.

favor914:
You Obidients will forever fail to use your brains, how hard is it for him to have renounced his Guinean Citizenship last year, or even tomorrow, if indeed it is true?

The constitution doesn’t say you cannot contest with dual citizenship, it says you cannot be President, even May 28th 2023 isn’t late to renounce the so called guinean citizenship.

Much ado about nothing.

Even if he renounces his guinean citizenship, are you comfortable being governed by someone who was once loyal to an external government? This is not to talk about the perjurious dishonesty when he was filling the INEC form. As a Nigerian we need to be worried about Tinubu’s loyalty. Even his tribe should be worried about his origin and loyalty.

This is what you get when you "elect" someone with lots of unknowns.

Here is the answer given by a mathematician with Stack Exchange in the link below:

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4680653/word-problem-minimum-number-of-hires

The screenshot is attached herewith.

My solution:

Let's designate States as X and Territory as Y.

There are 36 X and 1 Y. Thus two-thirds of X is 24 and two-thirds of Y is 2/3Y.

Thus 25% will be 25% of (24X + 2/3Y)

But X = 100 and Y = 120. Therefore the answer becomes:
25% of [24 × 100 + 2/3 × 120]
= 0.25 [2400 + 80]
= 0.25 [2480]
= 620

However, the another school of thought believe the answer will be 630. And their solution would be thus:
Two thirds only applies to the States and not the Territory. Thus the answer becomes:
25% of [24 × 100 + 120]
= 0.25 [2400 + 120]
= 0.25 [2520]
= 630

Another school of thought believe the answer will be 625. And this is the answer Tinubu supporters will go with. Their solution is thus:

There are two possible scenarios: one where the Territory is part of the two-thirds OR one who it isn't.
First scenario: 25% of [24 × 100 + 120]
= 0.25 [2400 + 120]
= 0.25 [2520]
= 630

Second scenario: 25% of [25 × 100]
= 0.25 [2500]
= 625

Thus we have two possible answers but the least of them is 625. So the answer is 625.

TinubuShet:
To recruit at least 25% of people from at least two thirds of the States and the Territory, we need to find out how many States and the Territory meet this requirement.
There are 36 States and 1 Territory, so we need to check if at least 2/3 of them (i.e., 24 States and the Territory) have at least 25% of their population applying for the job.

For the Territory, we have 120 applicants, which is more than 25% of its population (since there are 100 people in each State).

For the States, we have a total of 36 x 100 = 3600 people, and we need at least 24 States to have at least 25% of their population applying for the job.

25% of 100 people is 25 people, so each State needs at least 25 applicants.

If we assume that 24 States have 25 applicants each, that would give us a total of 24 x 25 = 600 applicants from the States.

Adding the 120 applicants from the Territory, we get a total of 720 applicants.

However, we need to make sure that at least 24 States meet the requirement. If we assume that the 24 States with the lowest number of applicants each have only 24 applicants, then the total number of applicants from the States would be 24 x 24 + 12 x 25 = 708.

Adding the 120 applicants from the Territory, we get a total of 828 applicants.

Since we want to minimize the number of people the firm should employ, we choose the lower number, which is 708.

Therefore, the answer is B. 620.

If we consider the Territory as a State, then we have a total of 37 States.
We still need to have at least 24 States meeting the requirement of at least 25% of their population applying for the job.

25% of 100 people is 25 people, so each State needs at least 25 applicants.

If we assume that 23 States have 25 applicants each, that would give us a total of 23 x 25 = 575 applicants from the States.

For the Territory, we have 120 applicants, which is more than 25% of its population.

Adding the 575 applicants from the States and the 120 applicants from the Territory, we get a total of 695 applicants.

However, we still need at least one more State to meet the requirement.

If we assume that the 24th State has only 24 applicants, then the total number of applicants from the States would be 24 x 24 + 22 x 25 = 648.

Adding the 120 applicants from the Territory, we get a total of 768 applicants.

Since we want to minimize the number of people the firm should employ, we choose the lower number, which is 695.

Therefore, the answer is still B. 620.

Thanks for your solution.

However I'm confused on some of your workings and how you got to the answer. Please clarify further.

Also i noticed you got numbers like 708 and 695 but you still chose B (620) as your answer instead of E (none of the above). Can you explain?

President-Elect in parenthesis. Interesting.

rtdCivilservant:
I believe u brought this cos of the confused interpretation by some on what the electoral law stipulates. From what u posted, it is obvious the territory is not a state, if it were a state u would have have correctly said 37 states... Why do we allow simple English to get us confused?
For example, let's use a class of 9 boys and 1 girl. I may say for u to emerge the class-rep, two-thirds of the 9 boys and the girl must be willing to give u half portions of their daily meal. Now this does not mean that for anyone to emerge, they must get two-third of half the daily meals of the 9 boys and half the daily meal of the only girl. A girl is not a boy, so u don't expect me to say 10 boys, that is where the AND comes in. The right interpretation be same as if I assume the only girl is a boy and say two-third of 10 boys or two-thirds of the 10 students. In the case of our country, "AND" there shouldn't confuse anyone, it is only so cos FCT is not a state and that is the only way of accommodating the entity (FCT) into the grammatical expression.

So what's the answer to the question?

Feintline:
Constitutionally, we do not have a president elect.

Can you solve the problem?

1. A recruiting firm advertised for a job and people from 36 States and a Territory applied. The recruiting firm was tasked to recruit at least 25% of people from at least two thirds of the States and the Territory. If there are 100 people in each of the States and 120 people from the Territory, what's the minimum number of people the firm should at least employ?

A. 600
B. 620
C. 625
D. 630
E. None of the Above

2. In addition to the requirements above, the recruiting firm was told the Territory is also to be considered as a State. Thus the requirement reads thus: recruit at least 25% of people from at least two thirds of the States and the Territory. And the Territory is to be considered a State. What's the minimum number of people the firm should at least employ?

A. 600
B. 620
C. 625
D. 630
E. None of the Above


Please show your workings. Anyone who shows very clear workings and gets the answer has solved the 25% electoral requirement quagmire that is confusing many people.

Obi is a drug dealer that was recently arrested for selling drugs in the UK.

Really? That means he will be charged to court soon. Let's wait and see what happens.

This is the opinion of a fool

And that's the beauty of democracy. Even fools can get to air their opinion.

NOETHNICITY:
The delusion that resides within some of you is irredeemable. How can you even imagine that that election will be cancelled?
Do you know what is cost to run that election?
Even the manpower investment and soooooooooooo much effort. The all of a sudden it’s cancelled because one self deluded man and his headless mob are angry that they came 3rd.
If it’s Atiku that is seriously agitating now we will know that he has some grounds to agitate.

Take it easy bros, we are just having conversation. We are looking at all the possible permutations.

DMerciful:
If the election were to be cancelled for irregularities, you're still advocating for irregularities in the new election?

Good question. I was just saying IF I were Tinubu. Of course I'm not Tinubu and thus would do things differently.

HilcomTech:
Only an mkporu mirri addict would think that there would be fresh elections

It's a good thing that the addict is thinking, don't you think?

Codepain:
Anybody that think there will be fresh election is hallucinating

And those who think there won't be fresh elections are not hallucinating.

If I were Tinubu, I would zone Senate Presidency to the North West. And my reason is very simple: If the Supreme Courts nullifies the election and demands a fresh presidential election be conducted, both Tinubu and Shettima will no longer be in power and the Senate President will become the Acting President. This means the Senate President will supervise the conduct of the fresh election.

The North West and the North East seem to be more loyal to Tinubu. That explain why there are fewer Obidient elements in those region. However in the South South and the South East, there is a preponderance of Obidient elements. This means that it is likely that there will be some people in Akpabio's inner cabinet that are Obidient. Same goes for Orji Uzor Kalu's inner cabinet. Thus if I were Tinubu, I would be very careful on who becomes Senate President because that person can become acting president with some influence should there be a need for fresh elections. He would need someone who is very loyal and whose inner cabinet is also very loyal.

This is my humble opinioin

Hi guys. whats the best most precise way to answer this question?

if points A and B are randomly placed on the circumference of a circle with radius 2, what is the probability that the length of the Chord AB is greater than 2?

The answer will either be in terms of pi (π) or in decimals.

Now here is how I mentally solved it:

Probability (AB > 2) = 1 - Probability (AB < 2)
And Probability (AB < 2) = 2/arc of a semi-circle = 2/πr
Thus Probability (AB < 2) = 2/πr = 1/π

Thus Probability (AB > 2) = 1 ‐ 1/π OR 0.68

Okay....if u say so....
Since its "a job" that was mentioned in ur question...i thought it was connoting singularity meaning only one job was available

No, the emphasis was the part I bolded: "The recruiting firm was tasked to recruit at least 25% of people from Ward A and Ward B."

When I said a job, I simply meant the job title. For instance, phone operator. Many people can be employed at the same time as phone operator. Perhaps I didn't coin my words well.

A trick question isnt a real problem to be calculated but a kind of riddle..... a trick question is like saying : a plantain farmer plant plantain in a plantain plantation, how many "p" is in that? The answer is zero cos there is no p in "that".....

OK I get your point. It's not a riddle, it's just a maths problem. There is nothing ambiguous in the question.

NapoleonHill:
There are over 5000PUs in Rivers which mean you did 3.5% of the result. How can you be 95% sure of a result by inference using 3.5% sample size.

This is especially when we have the actual results.

You cannot call figures that way and say you're 95% sure. Stop misleading people.

The most critical part in sampling is in ensuring the sample was randomly selected. A properly randomized sample with the right research methodology will give a 95% confident result if a margin of error of 5% and a z-score of 1.96 is used. And this applies to all kinds of population distribution, be it gaussian (normal distribution) or binomial distribution or poison distribution, etc. I didn’t just conjure up that sample size, I calculatedit using a sample size formula. I recommend you read random sampling and central limit theorem.

JoshTim:
Oh boy, you have to admit it that the samples you used are skewed to favour Obi. If e sure for you, use another sample set and run the regression, result will shock you your self.

If i begin to analyse your results and methods, you will be amased by the standard error in your result. Come alive, stop sleeping.

Regression ke? Bro do you know what you are saying?

My sample wasn't skewed to favour anyone. Like I said earlier, I used simple random sampling. I generated random numbers using excel. This means every polling units had equal chance of being selected. I really hope you understand Statistics.

JoshTim:
So 5% is the margin of error.

Why not carry out another research and use another sample to test rather than assume your estimate is accurate

I've done mine. And I'm 95% confident. Meaning if you repeat this research 100 times, you will get something similar to my result 95 times. Scientist like Carl Friedrich Gauss have demonstrated this already. But if you are still in doubt, perhaps you can do yours and tell me what you got.

JoshTim:
If you understand statistics so well as you claimed, you will understand that what you just generated is an estimate not the accurate figure.

Statistics is all about estimate bro. I never said my results are 100% accurate. But I'm 95% confident in my estimates.

It's also important to get a representative sample rather than get a sample that is skewed so that your analysis can follow a normal distribution. Else, what you just generated will have standard deviation greater than zero, skewness greater than zero, and curtosis less than 3 or greater than 3.

My sample is a representative sample because I made sure all 23 LGAs were sampled. Also the PUs from each of the LGA samples were in the exact proportion of the PUs in the actual LGAs. So the issue of skewness or kurtosis does not arise here.

I will like to ask the confidence interval for this your result?

95%

Recall I had performed an analysis of the presidential results on the IREV portal and came to the conclusion that APC won based on the results on IREV. See link to the thread here: https://www.nairaland.com/7626424/inec-result-analysis-based-samples

However I noticed some discrepancies in the result for Rivers State and decided to probe further. Again I used simple random sampling and multistage sampling to ensure that every polling unit had equal chance of being selected. I used a sample size of 198. I got the sample size using the formula:

Sample Size = S/(1+S/N)
Where S = z²*p*(1-p)/e²

And where z is the z-score which is 1.96 for a 95% confidence level
p is the population proportion of those who voted in Rivers State which is 15.6%
e is the margin of error which we take as 5%
N is the population size (total number of polling units in Rivers State) which is 6866.

The result is mind boggling.

RESULT
So after collating the results sheets from randomly selected 198 polling units, APC got a total of 4637 votes, LP got 8129 votes, NNPP got 47 votes and PDP got 3578 votes. So LP (and not APC as we were meant to believe) got the majority of votes followed by APC, then PDP and finally NNPP. Infact LP got more than 50% of the vote such that if you combine APC and PDP votes its still less than LP’s votes. This corroborates Peter Obi claim that he got 50% of the votes in Rivers State.

This means LP won more than 12 States (13 States or perhaps more) and APC won less than 12 States (11 States or perhaps less). With this result, I begin to wonder if there are other States with this kind of glaring discrepancies.

Caveat:
Whether the results from IREV is authentic or not is a matter for another discuss. My focus was just to use the results I saw on the IREV Portal.

So I have concluded the analysis of the presidential result as a whole and have even created a thread for the result. Below is the excerpt and link to the result thread:

Obinoscopy:
As a statistician, I've always believed in the powers of deductive inference based on sampling.

INEC has uploaded over 94% of the Presidential Results on the IREV Portal. Now there are people who believe that the result announced by INEC is significantly different from the result uploaded on IREV. I decided to randomly select result sheets from IREV and collate. The sample size was 314 result sheets. That sample size was gotten from an online sample size calculator. Click on this link to see my research protocol: https://www.nairaland.com/7614305/statistical-analysis-inec-result-irev

The result is very interesting.

RESULT
So after collating the result sheets from randomly selected 314 polling units, APC got a total of 15394 votes. LP got 10430 votes. NNPP got 2613 votes. And PDP got 11533 votes. So APC got the majority of votes followed by the PDP, then LP and finally NNPP.

This means INEC declaration is in tune with what's uploaded on IREV. However I noticed that the result for Rivers State is very strange. My collated result shows LP has more than 4 times the votes gotten by either APC or PDP.

So in conclusion, the IREV result is almost exactly what INEC declared. The only discrepancy is that of Rivers State. I might have to inspect that of Rivers State even further in my next analysis. But despite the Rivers State discrepancy, APC won fair and square based on the results on IREV Portal. I say this with 95% confidence.

Whether the results from IREV is authentic or not is a matter for another discuss. My focus was just to use the results I saw on the IREV Portal.
