- A small country consists of four states. The population of State A is 44,800, the population of State B is 52,200, the population of State C is 49,200, and the population of State D is 53,800. The total number of seats in the legislature is 100. Using a divisor of D = 1950, the modified quotas (to two decimal places) are State A: 22.97 seats, State B: 26.77 seats, State C: 25.23 seats, State D: 27.59 seats.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the specified paradox occurs.

- A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimate the percentage of computers that use a new operating system. How many computers must be surveyed in order to be 99% confident that his estimate is in error by no more than five percentage points question mark a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems. (Round up to the nearest integer.) b) Assume that a recent survey suggests that about 92% of computers use a new operating system.
