Question

2) Please list, with FULL names, the 7 “Swing States” (all together below)

3) Which 3 of them are most likely to hand Trump a path to victory?

4) If not those 3, which 4 States must Trump win?

5) How many combinations of 3 states victories give Harris an edge to win?

Answer 1

2) The 7 swing states are:

- Arizona
- Georgia
- Michigan
- Nevada
- North Carolina
- Pennsylvania
- Wisconsin

3) The 3 swing states most likely to hand Trump a path to victory are:

- North Carolina
- Pennsylvania
- Georgia

4) If not those 3, the 4 states that Trump must win are:

- Arizona
- Michigan
- Nevada
- Wisconsin

5) To determine how many combinations of 3 states victories can give Kamala Harris an edge to win, we first consider the 7 swing states.

The number of combinations of 3 states from a total of 7 is calculated using the combination formula:

\[
C(n, k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}
\]

Where \( n \) is the total number of states and \( k \) is the number of states to choose.

Here \( n = 7 \) and \( k = 3 \):

\[
C(7, 3) = \frac{7!}{3!(7 - 3)!} = \frac{7!}{3!4!} = \frac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 35
\]

Thus, there are 35 combinations of 3 states victories that could potentially give Kamala Harris an edge to win.
