    Question 2: Agenda Setting Consider there are three groups of people in Congress: Liberals, Moderates, and Conservatives. It does not matter the size of the groups - just that none of the groups is large enough for a majority - so it requires two groups to vote a certain way for something to pass.

    Alice and Bob each choose at random (uniformly) a real number between 0 and 2. We assume a uniform probability law under which the probability of an event is proportional to its area. Consider the following events: A: The magnitude (absolute value) of the difference of the two numbers is greater than 0.35. B: Alice's number is greater than 0.35. Compute the probability .
