Which is the correct answer to the question.
Of the 15 states in the Union when the issue of apportionment for the House of Representatives was first taken up in 1794, let's consider Kentucky, which had a population of 72677, and New Jersey, which had a population of 184139. The total population as of the 1790 census was 3893874 individuals, and the size of the House of Representatives was 105.
(a) What was the standard quota for Kentucky? Include at least three decimal places of accuracy. Standard quota:
(b) What was the standard quota for New Jersey? Include at least three decimal places of accuracy. Standard quota:
(c) What is the standard divisor for this apportionment exercise? Include at least one decimal place.Standard divisor:
Now the city expands to cover a new district called district C. As a result, the city hires
10 new police officers to cover the new district. This brings the total number of officers
to 50. The total population of the city is shown in the table. Complete the table using
Hamilton's method to apportion the police offices for the populations after 2000. Round
all standard quotas and the divisor to 7 decimal places if needed. You can use a
spreadsheet to help you figure out an answer or calculate using a calculator.
