Self Check Answers
The weight-4 voter is a dictator and is thus a critical voter in every winning coalition. Each winning coalition consists of the dictator and a subset of the three weight-1 voters. There are subsets of a three-element set—hence there are 8 winning coalitions. The dictator’s Banzhaf power index is therefore 8; the other voters are dummies, and their Banzhaf power indices are all 0.
