Question 29 WAEC_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2021 • CIVIC_EDUCATION • objective

In a community three groups - A, B and C - have historical tensions. The probability that a dispute between any two groups escalates to violence is given by \[ P_{escalate}=\frac{\text{tension factor}}{1+\text{mediation effort}}. \] The tension factors are: A‑B = 0.6, B‑C = 0.4, A‑C = 0.5. The local council can allocate a total of 3 mediation‑effort units among the three pairwise relations (effort may be fractional). To ensure that the highest escalation probability among the three pairs does not exceed 0.25, propose one possible allocation of mediation effort to the pairs A‑B, B‑C and A‑C.

A. Allocate 1.0 units to A‑B, 1.0 units to B‑C and 1.0 unit to A‑C.
