ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО MAJORITY
большинство
Большинство - это подмножество множества, состоящего из более половины элементов множества. Это можно сравнить с множеством, которое является подмножеством, большим, чем любое другое рассматриваемое подмножество; то есть множество не обязательно является большинством, так как наибольшее рассматриваемое подмножество может состоять из менее половины элементов набора. В британском английском большинство и множественность часто используются в качестве синонимов, а термин «большинство» также альтернативно используется для обозначения маржи выигрыша, т. Е. Количества голосов, отделяющих финишер первого места от финишера второго места. Большинство можно назвать простым большинством, чтобы контрастировать с другими типами большинства: общее большинство в парламентских системах - это разница между законодателями между правительством и его оппозицией; абсолютное большинство - большинство избирателей, а не только тех, кто голосовал; и супермаксимальность является более сильным большинством, чем простое большинство.
