WORKSHEET 13: PRINCE CHART
(A) Using the policy and players developed for Worksheets 11 & 12, place estimates of the issue position, power, and priority for each player in the Prince Chart below. Then calculate the players' Prince Scores:
| Policy: | Establish a Teen Court | (State in terms of a desired political outcome.) |
| PLAYERS | Issue Position -5 to +5 |
X | Power 1 to 5 |
X | Priority 1 to 5 |
= | PLAYER'S PRINCE SCORE |
| James French | +1 | X | 5 | X | 1 | = | +5 |
| Joyce Zeno | +4 | X | 5 | X | 3 | = | +60 |
| K.Westcott | -2 | X | 5 | X | 1 | = | -10 |
| J.McGrath | -4 | X | 3 | X | 3 | = | -36 |
| Johanna Horton | 0 | X | 5 | X | 3 | = | (15) |
(B) Calculate the probability:
Calculation 2: Sum of all of the positive scores plus 1/2 neutral scores = 73
Calculation 3: Sum of all scores ignoring signs and parentheses = 126
Calculation 4: Probability of support = Calculation 2 divided by Calculation 3= 73/126 = .579 = (58%)
(C) Write a brief interpretation of the results of your calculations:
There is a 58% chance the policy will be implemented. Since the chance is close to 50% and it is uncertain whether the policy will be implemented, the policy will continue to be disputed.
