Of course, your vote will While the payoff to the country is impossible to calculate precisely, it's clear that it will be proportional to the population. The chance of one's vote Voting as a rational choice: why and how people vote to improve the well-being of others. Could you count without having words for numbers? DIRECTIONS: The next section of the test has 4 multiple-choice questions. Even if you're not a “math person,” counting seems like a such a basic skill that it's almost instinctive.
