Majority
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the mathematical concept of majority. For the various legal definitions of adulthood, see Age of majority. For information on military officers in their majority, see major.
A majority, also known as a simple majority in the U.S., is a subset of a group that is more than half of the entire group. This should not be confused with a plurality, which is a subset having the largest number of parts. A plurality is not necessarily a majority, as the largest subset may be less than half of the entire group.
For example, in a hypothetical group of 40 athletes there are:
15 association football players
10 sprinters
9 marathon runners
6 table tennis players
In this group, a majority would consist of more than half the total number of athletes, or 21 athletes. The group of all ball sport players together (15 football players + 6 table tennis players = 21) comprise a majority. However, football players, 15 in number, comprise a plurality, not a majority.
